Black Kettle
Music by Chris Skellenger
Words by Chief Black Kettle, The Cheyenne People, and Chris Skellenger
Copyright 1982

How strong is your heart.... the wild and magical part
How true is your smile.... it stays for just awhile
But nothing endures, only the earth and the mountains
In the moon of strong cold... we mourned when we were told
In the moon of strong cold.... the young would not grow to be old
Now my shame is big as the earth
you do not know what the country is worth
and within me is only one heart
it stops where your life starts
and even though wrongs have been done me
I live in hope.... but nothing lives long
only the earth and the mountains
No, nothing endures... only the earth and the mountains
