RESERVATION

He was a warrior with the Sioux tribe
His mother was a Mary Lou
His uncle was an alcoholic
His sister was an Indian Jew
The white man gave him the fire water
And then they took away his land
They said we have a reservation
Where you can hunt the buffalo

Chorus

The Indians were a very proud race
Their hands were tied behind their backs
But now they're haunting all the beer halls
Across the United States

They killed the buffalo by the thousand
Until the white man killed them all
The reservations are but ghettos
America you surely know
Brave young warriors are still fighting
To get back what is surely theirs
We wish them well in their endeavors
The happy hunting ground is theirs

Chorus

Please someone, I want this lyrics text. Because I'm no English native. I want to know the complete lyrics...

@rejlandersegundo

I've now included the lyrics in the description. They're the album version and are slightly different from this demo version but not much.

Yeh, great band, with one of the best melodic guitar players around (Robbo) master of the tone. I saw them in 79 supporting Rush. Robbo transforms any band with that distinctive sound and awesome use of the wah wah.

Thanks for the comment! btw I admin the Wild Horses Facebook page. I know it's a long shot but did you take any photos of the band or have any memorabilia? Cheers!

[warrrenegghead]

@UliJones Sorry no memorabilia. Its good to see these vids and hear these songs though. Takes me back to my teenage years. Keep up the cool work! Don't suppose you have any demos with the other original guitarist with Robbo - Jimmy Mcculloch! (ex wings)did they start the band together? of course unfortunately he died.

Regards

The Jimmy McCulloch period is a real mystery. I've found no recordings or photos of him with the band though he was certainly there at the start. I don't think he recorded anything with Wild Horses but I hear that he recorded some blues jams with Brian Robertson. Sadly these tapes have since gone missing.

@UliJones Thank you so much for your kindness and quick response! Also uploading this demo version

, I prefer this version.

Planning on checking out some more of your vids by this band this weekend.....thinking I'm going to find some more songs I'll really like. Thanks for the clue!

@MetalGuruMessiah

My pleasure and thanks! I'm not surprised that you missed the band first time around. They never got around to visiting the US and they broke up in 1981 after the release of the second album. BTW - This is the demo version of the song. The one that appears on the album is a lot more produced.

[MetalGuruMessiah]

Cool vid w/some great images. This is a great tune, how did I miss this album? Lots of great people involved with this band......thought I owned every single album released in the 70s and 80s!? Thanks for sharing.
