Red, White And Black Blues

Listen to poem:

The white man stole their land now the red man has the blues the white man sold their families and the black man's still ill-used the white man shot the American buffalo now the red man sings the blues the white man put their people in chains and the black man's grief accrues the white house is to blame the Government just the same the white man broke the treaty now the red man feels the blues the white man did the dirty and the black man he's abused the white man has no conscience but the red man has the blues no the white man does not care tho' the black man's overdue the white house is to blame the Government it is too
