Prairie zat lekker dicht
Maar toen lei bleekgezicht
Spoortrein aan, op die dag
Riep ik: "Mannen, pijltjesdag"
Toen riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Waar haal ik nou zo'n strijdbijl nog vandaan"
Zo riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Wild was de west maar tam was het bestaan"
Toen beleefd ik gepraat
Spoortrein bleef, en niks niet baat
Bleekgezicht, rood van nijd
Roodhuid zelf, wit van spijt
Toen riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Waar haal ik nou nog rooie huid vandaan"
Zo riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Wild was de west maar tam was het bestaan"
Toen ik dacht: die tijd nou rijp
Om de rook verleden spijt
Roep dan als rood verschiet
Ie-wie-waai, weg of niet
Toen riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Waar haal ik nou nog pijptabak vandaan"
Zo riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Wild was de west maar tam was het bestaan"
Spoortrein kwam helemaal klaar
Bleekgezicht ging toen naar
Opperhoofd, zette op deur
Bordje 'Hoofdconducteur'
Toen riep 't opperhoofd der Indianen
"Waar haal ik nou die fluit zo gauw vandaan"
Zo maakt 't opperhoofd der Indianen
Vlug, veilig en voordelig het bestaan
"Voor klaar, achter klaar
Goed, karre maar"
