From the Indian, reservation, to the govern, mental school
Well they're goin, to educate me, to the white men's, Golden Rule
And I'm learning, very quickly, for I've learned, to be ashamed
And I come, when they call Billy, though I've got, an Indian name
And there are drums, beyond the mountain, Indian drums, that you can't hear
There are drums, beyond the mountain, and they're getting, mighty near
And when they, think that they'd changed me, cut my hair, to meet their needs
Will they think, I'm white or Indian, quarter blood, or just half breed
Let me tell you, Mr Teacher, when you say, you'll make me right
In five hundred, years of fighting, not one Indian, turned white
And there are drums, beyond the mountain, Indian drums, that you can't hear
There are drums, beyond the mountain, and they're getting, mighty near
Well you thought, that I knew nothing, when you brought, me here to school
Just another, empty Indian, just America's, first fool
But now I, can tell you stories, that are burnt, and dried and old
But in the shadow, of their telling, walks the thunder, proud and bold
And there are drums, beyond the mountain, Indian drums, that you can't hear
There are drums, beyond the mountain, and they're getting, mighty near
Long Pine, and Sequoia, Handsome Lake, and Sitting Bull
There's Magnus, Colorado, with his sleeves, so red and full
Crazy, Horse the legend, those who bit off, Custer's soul
They are dead, yet they are living, with the great, Geronimo
And there are drums, beyond the mountain, Indian drums, that you can't hear
There are drums, beyond the mountain, and they're getting, mighty near
Well you may teach me, this land's hist'ry, but we taught it, to you first
We broke your hearts, and bent your journeys, broken treaties, left us cursed
Even now, you have to cheat us, even though, you think us tame
In our losing, we found proudness, in your winning, you found shame
And there are drums, beyond the mountain, Indian drums, that you can't hear
There are drums, beyond the mountain, and they're getting, mighty near
