Train arrived August 8th 1878 

Crossing the noyo through deep mountain tunnels
California western rail through the red woods and the great sierra
Train arrived on time August 8th 1878


Knuckles cracked man strapped on his cap

Buffalos cleared pushed off the cliffs the men'll never see 
them
My daughter's never seen them 

Sit atop a mountain of skulls a Tyrant of the addled pack


The same man waded through the crowd 

Men women children's waiting by the rail
IIt's time he deal with the buffalo men 

A mans man he'll deal with this just like his father taught


August 8 1878 red skinned man west far to west is he

Stickin' like a sore thumb

No needle in a haystack

But a brackish tea not so much does the queen desire 


The red skinned man fights for his daughter, buffalo men take her away! 

His land is gone he fights a fight a dead fight but a man's man he'll never quit


He picks one target off the train

Follows back down to the cedar lake 

The iron horse weakens him his bones crack with just a swing 


Man cried out cross the cedar lake 

Sheriff sheriff look this injun breaks

But the red skinned man was long long gone

The white men weakened by the iron horses puffing clouds 


He's plotting his revenge on the passengers of the western

California railroad tracks the innocent mimick the tyrants of the innocent
Tyrants of this addled pack

Inspire this red skinned hypocrite 

But a man's man this man this red skinned man will addle this whole new pack
This whole new pack cries to sheriffs and to deputies
I say what to do oh what to do when the deputies turn their heads away oh god forbid that they become the threat to you like you've become the threat to this group of lowly buffalo
