Blue Indian

Oh, Pappy left a chair like he's still sittin' there

Once I almost saw him make his move

Brave Indian who never changes his mood

In a paintin' on the wall right there

Oh, how long till the mornin' wakes?

Oh, how long till the medicine takes?

Oh, Sally Buffalo in the apartment just below

Just a-bein' without a care

Oh, children from my brood

They come and bring me food

Maybe open up a window for air

Oh, just now I smell the cornbread bake

Oh, now, now, now I feel the medicine take

Just like home

Where the, the stray dogs go through it all

Still right here, still just here

Brave little friend

Well we got a party goin' on

Many spirits strong

Ain't no preacher, just a-happy to meet ya

Half a bottle 'neath the bed

Keep our spirits fed

My hat's off to you, to you and you

And now our brave friends, too

Dancin' circles through the room

And a broom and a radio

And a twistin' out a dos-e-do

Brand new day, whole world's goin'

Whole room's goin' so

Just now, don't hesitate (Don't hesitate)

Oh, taste the mornin' break (The mornin' break)

Sweet, sweet, young honeycomb (Honeycomb)

Oh, now, now, now just like home (Just like home)

Oh, just like, just like home

Where the, the stray dogs go

Oh, oh, rest my bones

Like a fresh skipped stone to it all

Still just here, still right here

Still just here, brave, brave friend
