Reservation Blues
by Sherman Alexie (Couer d'Alene/Spokane)
music by Jim Boyd (Colville)

There's a grandmother talking to me
There's a grandmother talking to you
There's a grandmother singing to me
There's a grandmother singing to you

And if you stop and listen
You might hear what you've been missing
And if you stop and listen
You might hear what you've been missing

And I hear Big Mom
Telling me another story
And I hear Big Mom
Singing me another song

And she says
I'll be coming back
I'll be coming back
I'll be coming back for you
I'll be coming back
I'll be coming back
I'll be coming back for you
I'll always come back for you
