NO WHITE FEATHER
oh you can sit there watchin
yer TV an say
yer lookin at the best
but I’ll tell you – I laced on skates
with a few natives who hardly
got a mile outside their reserve an
who’d make those jokers look sick
naturals, these guys were
an I’ll tell you – you didn’t
circle the wagons on those boys
no sirree
cause they never showed the white feather
they’d just run you outa the rink
don’t ask my why
they never went anywheres maybe
if they’da gone to the city or
if they’da played in a bigger league
but I guess
if the dog hadn’ta stopped
to take a crap
he’da caught the rabbit too
