Hoyt Axton Song title?

[cjcocn]

Hello all

I am looking for the title to (I think) a Hoyt Axton song that goes like this .....

First came the wagons,and then came the trains
They drove the Indians right off of the plains!
Washinton burough of Indians affairs,they loved thier money and they didn't care!
About starving people,and dying came slow
And now they have all followed the White buffaloe!!!!


.... thanks!

It's off the 1971 Joy to the World Album:

Title: Indian Song (Wrote by Hoyt of course)

First came the wagons, then came the trains.
They drove the Indians off of the plains.
Then came the white man with his fences an' sheep.
Tore up the ground where the Great Spirit sleeps.

My Grandfather Borin was a North Texas man.
He was a cowboy: he loved the land.
He fathered nine children an' he raised six more.
And his Daddy fought in our first civil war.

My Grandmother Axton was part Cherokee.
She kept it a secret from daddy an' me.
For someone had told her in her early childhood:
"You better not mention your Indian blood."

Washington Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Yeah, the white man loves money, he didn't care,
About starving people an' dying came slow.
Now they have all followed the wild buffalo.
