	作词 : Taylor
	Well, the good times scratched a laugh
	from the lungs of the young men
	In a Deadwood saloon, South Dakota afternoon
	And the old ones by the door
	with their heads on their chests,
	they told lies about whiskey on a womans breath
	Yes, and some tell the story of young Mickey Free
	Who lost an eye to a buck deer in the Tongue River Valley
	Oh and some tell the story of California Joe
	Who sent word through the Black Hills
	there was a mountain of gold
	And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
	And the sun she sets down on the trees
	And they thank the Lord
	for the land that they live in
	Where the white man does as he pleases
	Some flat-shoed fool from the East comes a-runnin'
	With some news that he'd read in some St. Joseph paper
	And it was "Drinks all around" cause the news he was tellin'
	was the one they called Crazy
	has been caught and been dealt with
	And the Easterner he read the news from the paper
	And the old ones moved closer so's they could hear better
	"Well it says here that Crazy Horse
	was killed while trying to escape,
	and that was some time last September,
	it don't give the exact date"
	And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
	And the sun she sets down on the trees
	And they thank the Lord
	for the land that they live in
	Where the white man does as he pleases
	Where the white man does as he pleases
	Then the talk turned back to whiskey and women
	And cold nights on the plains, Lord
	and fightin' them indians
	And the Easterner he says he'll have one more
	'fore he goes
	He gives the paper to the Crow boy
	who sweeps up the floor
	And the gold she lay cold in their pockets
	And the sun she sets down on the trees
	And they thank the Lord
	for the land that they live in
	Where the white man does as he pleases
	Where the white man does as he pleases
	Where the white man does as he pleases
	As he wants to, as he pleases
