Lyrics
Buffalo soldier
Buffalo soldier
Buffalo soldier
Buffalo soldier
Buffalo soldier
Bet your mama never told ya
Mm-mm-mm, hmm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Bet your mama never told ya about the Buffalo soldier
To the rescue, the rescue, ride, brother, ride
To the rescue, the rescue, Buffalo soldier ride
Standing in the middle of the burning sun, frying
Well, well, well, riding high, staying low
Fighting every day until my fingers numb, trying
Hey, lightning fast, thunder strong, yeah
Why, why would he have, yeah?
Buffalo soldier (well, well, well, well)
Buffalo soldier (ooh, ooh-hoo, oh-ooh)
Yeah, yeah, mm, mm, mm
Run through the woods upon my hands and my knees daily
Yeah, dignified, sanctified, super soldier
No recognition did we ever receive, baby
Yeah, riding high, staying low, yeah
Yeah, yeah, mm, come on
Buffalo soldiers ride (well, well, well, well)
Buffalo soldiers ride (mm, mm)
Yeah, talk to me (take them sisters up the beaten path)
Yeah, yeah, come on, people
Buffalo soldiers ride (yeah, well, well, well, well)
Buffalo soldiers ride (ooh-hoo, oh-ooh)
Buffalo soldiers ride (yeah, well, well, well, well)
Buffalo soldiers ride (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Buffalo soldiers ride
We're dignified super soldiers
We're sanctified super soldiers
We're dignified super soldiers
We're sanctified super soldiers (come on, stand up on your own feet now)
Buffalo soldiers ride (e-yeah, mm, hmm, hmm, hmm)
Buffalo soldiers ride (hey, whoo)
Buffalo soldiers ride (ooh-ooh, ooh-hoo, oh-ooh)
Buffalo soldiers ride (Buffalo soldiers, get on that horse and ride)
Buffalo soldiers ride (yeah, yeah, lightning fast)
Buffalo soldiers ride (yeah, coming strong)
Buffalo soldiers ride (be so strong, stand up on your own two feet)
