Trivia, story behind the song, etc.

Lyrics

(Music & Lyrics by Dougie MacLean)

I'm the child of the Great Cree Nation. See me I'm my 
father's son 
We live by the Great Bull. See me I'm the wild one 
This morning we are ready to show the Buffalo our 
knives 
And by the red of sunset we'll have relieved them of 
their lives 
Buffalo jump feel the thunder 
Buffalo jump across the plain 
Buffalo jump kill the hunger 
Crashing over the cliffs of pain   

The Beast has well been gathered. We could have 
had a thousand more 
We'll run them to the edge. They'll tumble out through 
death's dark door 
And soon the blood will flow like water through these 
sunbleached ancient bones 
It will revive this dusty land on which our seeds of life 
are thrown 
Buffalo jump etc.   

See me I am the bravest. I'm the strongest of us all 
I'll stand beside the river's edge and watch the great 
black waterfall 
I'm a child of the Great Cree Nation. See me I'm my 
father's son 
We live by the Great Bull. See me I'm the wild one 
Buffalo jump etc.
