Out of the blue the French arrived.
Wine on their breath and ice in their eyes.
Freezing cold they were buying skins.
Figured they'd prolly never see 'em again.
Brits came through, always picking fights.
Joined 'em and fought on the losing side.
Then John C. Calhoun came up with a plan.
Remove the natives from their native lands.

Telling you the story of the Kickapoo.
All the things the Kickapoo like to do.
The way they whistle, where they settled.
Hear this story bout the Kickapoo.

Kennekuc went to Kansas, a peaceful man.
Kickapoo Prophet and his peaceful band.
A few came to Texas, got in the horse biz.
Then Mexico, near Santa Rosa de Muzquiz.
Never forget the Battle Of Dove Creek.
Rebels picked a fight, went down in defeat.
Wander to Oklahoma, lands on reserve.
Or to the Rio Grande like Texican birds.

Could tell you Kickapoo stories til were blue.
In the hills of Coahuila, they hid Pancho Villa.
Sierra del Carmen nights of the Kickapoo.
