Lyrics

Buffalo Soldiers

Buffalo Soldiers, fighting men
Rode for the army to clean up the land
Nobody messed with the 9th and the 10th
from the Kansas plains to the Rio Grand

From the cotton fields of Georgia
to the farmlands in the North
The only way to be a man
was in that uniform
Some had never had their freedom
others fought for dignity
Dark soldiers on the frontier
They're part of history
Chorus
They were lean tough and ornery
and didn't take no guff
They chased those wild Apaches
till their moccasins wore off
They battled brave Comanches
Kiowas and Cheyenne too
They called them Buffalo Soldiers
America's pride in blue
