Peter La Farge


Crouching Panther made the fine old stand
Of Eastern Indians for Eastern land
Now he was human, he wouldn't tourture prisoners
But he sure could fight.

And he gathered all his tribes into dynamite
He said the Ohio River was the boundary line
But his followers were too eager
And to folly were inclined.

Before he got them organized
And had then set
They went out and they got defeated
And we ain't seen them yet.

So he Joined the British army
And he fought with British arms
But the British lost the battle
But it didn't do us much harm.

And he lost the Ohio River
But he made a great name
Tecumseh and Crouching Panther
These men two are the same.
