Ride, Buffalo Soldier, ride
With a Dragoon pistol and sabre by your side.
You were wearing yankee blue and a buffalo hide
I want you to ride, Buffalo Soldier, ride.

A Veteran of the Civil War, you found your way out west At Fort Leavenworth you joined the cavalry.
You've com this far since slavery, now hold ypour head up high
I want you to ride, Buffalo Soldier, ride.

Chorus

From the plains of Kansas, down to New Mexico
You patrolled the Santa Fe Trail.
And from you, great Geronimo found no place to hide.
I want you to ride, Buffalo Soldier, ride.

Cho,

You faced mighty Satanta, a chief of great renown
You fought, you bled, and you died.
Your bravery showed that you wore your uniform with pride I want you to ride, Buffalo Soldier, ride.

Cho
