In ancient times a giant eagle sputtered freely sea to sea

His claws could rip a mountain clean his eyes shot fire when the air was free

His wingspan birthed ten hurricanes he sculpted much of this here land

His greatest triumph was a birth a man I just call "Abraham"

-------

Abraham he sired a nation and "freedom" was their guiding word

Their skin was red their feathers worn in honor of the ancestral bird

Then caucasoids they floated west, set forth, destroyed the Eagle's land

They threw litter on the side of the road a tear did stain old Abraham's cheek

-------

Then one day on the reservation the Army tapped old Abraham

His two sons sucking mother's milk they sent him off to Vietnam

Friendly fire it took his life there was nothing left to see

Except five toes and an ankle, man, hence the name of "redfoot" came to be

-------

Momma Redfoot died of grief Redfoot boys played hoops and all

Drank their whiskey, drank it neat, two young men with a basketball

Then one Redfoot brother took the other's girl drove to New York and left her there

The other brother joined the FBI but they didn't make him cut his hair

Now you know it you seen it all a story old as euro myths

In the spirit world Abraham sighs he says "D'IH!"
