Here's one of the demise of the American Indian's way of life. Real Country Lyrics Silence Of Hooves (Larry W. Jones 11/17/2006) (song#4156) The chieftan looked across the sacred ground Across the wide open prarie up and down But the buffalo could not be found And the silence of hooves made a heavy sound The silence of hooves made a heavy sound There's a change in the wind, I know What's here today must tomorrow go Why must the innocent have to know Where did all the buffalo go The chieftan looked out the teepee door And thought of all the happy times before He looked into the sky and winding stream A tear fell from his eye that used to gleam Where is the chieftan's dream There's a change in the wind, I know What's here today must tomorrow go Why must the innocent have to know Where did all the buffalo go Years ago there was a bounteous land Tilled and cared for by generous men Will such a lovely time ever come again Or will the same old rhyme be sung again There's a change in the wind, I know What's here today must tomorrow go Why must the innocent have to know Where did all the buffalo go Oh, where did all the buffalo go
