There’s thunder in the hills
Streaks of lightening `cross the sky
It’s time to move the teepees
Time to move down in the valley

Winter is coming long cold nights
Berry picking was such a delight
But now follow the buffalo herd
The tribe must go down to valley

Bears buffalo deer moose and elk
Tracking of the game now easier
Use the hide hoofs meat and pelts
No trophy taking by those lovers of the land

Winter time is harsh some will die
Their spirits linger in the sky
Native peoples living off the land
Follow the buffalo to lower grounds

Follow the buffalo
Follow the buffalo
Winter is coming
Snow will be falling
