about

A song about buffalo migration. Buffaloes made the trails that Native Americans used, and many of these became today's highways! This is sung by David Jackson, who has the lowest voice we've ever heard.

lyrics

Little Willie Buffalo
Little Willie Buffalo
In the green green grass of Idaho
I’m Little Willie Buffalo

I’m a baby buffalo up on the plains
I sleep under moon, I play in the rain
Daddy was Bill so they call me Will
I hope you’ll sing this song with me

Boom shaka laka laka

I walk in the hills with my buffalo mom
We’re a buffalo herd two thousand strong
The buffalo bulls keep the family safe
From the wolf and the thunder and the windy days

CHORUS

I eat in the morning and I eat at night
Chomping on grass is mighty nice
Middle of the day I take a little nap
And I dream of the faraway Cumberland Gap

You see my great great great great great great great
great grandfolks laid the trail
That led the way for the Indians, the cowboy and the Interstate

December brings the big white snow
But it’s not too cold for a buffalo
We’re gonna walk south for many a mile
Gonna keep on moving in the winter time

I’m getting bigger every day
I’ll be two thousand pounds but I love to play
Under big blue sky in the meadow by the stream
At night I dream the buffalo dream

I’ll dream of you
If you’ll dream of me
In the green green grass of Idaho
We’ll roll around like the buffalo do
Cause I’m a buffalo
Don’tcha know
