A long, dry, windy place
Years gone by without a trace
The grass is tall, the wind is strong
The winter months are very long
The buffalo were so thick and dark
Until bullets slammed into their hearts
Left to rot without skin or tongue
So the people could not feed their young
When the people saw this gruesome sight
Their very hearts filled up with fright
For soon, they knew soldiers would come
And in their task they would succeed
To drive the people from their land
So they could plow, and plant their seed
Bleeding Kansas has seen it all
The long, thin, the short and tall
She cried when her people died
Only for an arrogant pride
