The rugged Buffalo – Stands afront the clouds;

Strong and persevering – Lacking any doubt;

This long-suffering bison – Knows what he’s about;

In fact, his strong spirit – Endows him with clout;

He endures harsh winters – Rain and snowstorms too;

Whatever come his way – He will make it through;

Any of the rough things – That nature can do;

Oh! strong and tough bison – I would really like;

To have your tough spirit – Your enduring hide;

Courage to bear all things – Would fill me with pride;

Alas! Sometimes I’m weak – And I’m filled with fear;

That’s when I would like to – Have your roughness near;

To be strong, courageous – When dark clouds appear;

Living life with honor – Like a bronze-tipped spear.
