Lyrics

I have heard many stories from an old indian friend
and this is my favorite even though it has no end
There's an old indian legend I was told long ago,
it's about a special valley and the White Buffalo.
There are few who have seen him though they've looked high and low
for the trail is long and winding to the White Buffalo.
The legend says you'll find him if your heart is brave and true
and you treat all men as brothers no matter what they do.
I have searched for that valley since I started to grow,
I won't stop until I find it and the White Buffalo.
The legend says you'll find him if your heart is brave and true
and you treat all men as brothers no matter what they do.
I have searched for that valley since I started to grow,
I won't stop until I find it and the White Buffalo.
For I know it's right to find the White Buffalo!
