about

" Play the War Drums " is a song of a young native boy telling a story about his father who is a chief of his tribe. It is a song of Native heritage based on the late 1800's and how the son is told to play the war drums for the freedom and rights they wish to gain.
Enjoy singing with the song as I have added the lyrics in the next box.

lyrics

" Play The War Drums " By : Perry Kolba

Verse 1

1) I can remember when I was just a little Indian boy
2) Living out on the east side of the great rocky mountain mane
3) My daddy was a great warrior Chief and a great warrior Brave .
4) Woo woo, woo, woo, woo, what a great man he made.
5) I was playing on a hill top in the tall tall grassy grain
6) When out the corner of my eye I saw deep in the sky a little gray gray haze
7) It was a warrior brave coming home from a great, scout of that day.
8) He had blood on his face, bullets lodged a deep deep in his leg.
9) My daddy looked at me, said son go and play those war drums for me,
10) For the white men are coming to take our freedom away from we..

Chorus 1 sing 3 times

11) Lun da de dun da de da da da da da, lun da de da la da da da da 12) Lun da de da la da da da da , la de da dun da de da.

Verse 2

13) There must have been at least 500 more warrior braves
14) They were caring tomahawk’s they made and bows and arrows they sharpened every day
15) They danced around the totem poles they made and they spoke in tongues of their own ways…
16) Woo,, Woo,, woo,, woo, what a proud tribe that made..
17) As they rode away, some of them looked back to wave good bye,
18) While others in the tribe just held their heads way up with pride.
19) We knew that some of them weren’t never ever coming home again.
20) While some of those braves, would come home as a ghost a riding on a paints mane.
21) We knew that some of them weren’t never ever coming home again.
22) While some of those braves, would come home as a ghost a riding on a paints mane.
23) My daddy looked at me said son go and play those war drums for me
24) For the white man are coming to take our freedom away from we..
