Lyrics
We're gonna dance all day
Don't see it ending soon
And when the sun goes down
We've got the light of the moon
We've studied the words
That Jack Wilson said
And Wooziwob's journey
To the land of the dead
Oh the souls are calling
They're gonna walk this earth again
Oh I can hear them calling
We're ghost dancing
At wounded knee
They had nowhere to run
From Forsyth's devils
And the Hodgkiss gun
20 medals of honour
Given on that day
Dead women and children
Frozen where they lay
Oh the souls are calling
They're gonna walk this earth again
Oh I can hear them calling
We're ghost dancing
Gonna dance till dawn
Gonna kick up the dirt
The bullets won't penetrate
My shirt
Gonna dance all night
To the beat of the drum
And the dead will join us
One by one
Oh the souls are calling
They're gonna walk this earth again
Oh I can hear them calling
We're ghost dancing
