Down on the plains
Where the buffaloes used to roam
Girl had a name
Name it was home

She bled for the people
She bled for the rain
When she was dying
They called out her name

Home, home
Her name was home
Home, home
Her name, it was home

Home, she was mighty
Home, she was strong
When they came marching
She fought with a song
But buffalo was mighty
And buffalo were strong
When they came marching
Then buffalo

Gone, gone
Then buffalo was gone
Gone, gone
Then buffalo was gone

When you take your pie
From the oven tonight
Remember there's a cry
Where is life
Go and get your baby
At the fair in the rain
Her line will take you higher
Than two tons of cocaine

Home, home
Her name was home
Home, home
Her name, it was home

Friends they say I'm holding out
My train's gone off the track
All the while I'm calling out
With this monkey on my back
Friends, they sure are something
Talking back like that
If It's all the same to you old dame
I'll call that kettle

Home, home
Her name was home
Home, home
Her name, it was home

Gone, gone
Then buffalo was gone
