Subject: lyr req: wounded knee
Hi, folks. I’m looking for the lyrics of WOUNDED KNEE - I guess it's not the more popular one titled BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE but another record I heard in the 80s. I don't remember the composer or singer (The key was something in e or g minor) but I still recall some words. It went like:

"And they came through the misty grey morning with their bayonets drawn to kill,
And the shrill sounds of bugles were calling while all was silent and still.
And slain were the helpless in hundreds as the blood turned the white snow to red.
Once a proud nation were we, bury our hearts on wounded knee ..."

Can anybody help me? Thanks very much.
