dall'album Coincidence and Likely Stories del 1990, la canzone riprende il titolo del famoso libro di Dee Brown
Indian legislation on the desk of a do-right Congressman
Now, he don't know much about the issue
so he picks up the phone and he asks advice from the
Senator out in Indian country
A darling of the energy companies who are
ripping off what’s left of the reservations. Huh.
I learned a safety rule
I don’t know who to thank
Don't stand between the reservation
and the corporate bank
They send in federal tanks
It isn’t nice but it’s reality
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.
They got these energy companies that want the land
and they’ve got churches by the dozen
who want to guide our hands
and sign Mother Earth over to pollution, war and greed
Get rich... get rich quick.
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.
We got the federal marshals
We got the covert spies
We got the liars by the fire
We got the FBIs
They lie in court and get nailed
and still Peltier goes off to jail
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.
My girlfriend Annie Mae talked about uranium
Her head was filled with bullets and her body dumped
The FBI cut off her hands and told us she’d died of exposure
Loo loo loo loo loo
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh.
We had the Goldrush Wars
Aw, didn’t we learn to crawl and still our history gets
written in a liar’s scrawl
They tell ‘ya "Honey, you can still be an Indian
d-d-down at the ‘Y’
on Saturday nights"
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee
Deep in the Earth
Cover me with pretty lies
Bury my heart at Wounded Knee. Huh!

nella diidascalia della foto è scritto Buffy Sainte Marie esegue "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee al festival di Newport, 1978. Ma non ho trovato la canzone in nessun album precedente a Coincidence and Likely Stories del 1990.

Oltre a non poter eseguire questa canzone nel 1978, la foto in intro ritrae la Buffy Sainte Marie ad un'edizione del festival di Newport, ma non nel 1978 bensì più di 10 anni prima, nel 1967... la foto è di Peter Simon.
In quell'occasione, la setlist di Buffy Sainte Marie fu la seguente:
- Little Wheel Spin and Spin
- The Piney Wood Hills
- (Unknown)
- Cripple Creek. (Luther Strong cover)
- My Country 'Tis of Thy People You're Dying
