Back in history's pages, theres a story we all know
How the white man fought the indian
So the story goes
Have you heard about the horses the idians say sweat blood
War horse of the nez perce
The Appaloosa stud
Appaloosa Appaloosa
With your head held high
Appaloosa Appaloosa
Proudest horse a man could ever ride
He could outrun any other horse in distance or in speed
When the chase began the Appaloosa always took the lead
The cavalry could never catch Chief Joseph and his band
The Nez Perce have the fastest, toughest horses in the land
Appaloosa Appaloosa
With your head held high
Appaloosa Appaloosa
Proudest horse a man could ever ride
They came from Spain to Mexico in the year of 92
From Mexico to the western states the Appaloosa grew
The idans said they liked his looks, his color, fire and speed
The war horse of the Nez Perce proudest of the western breed
Appaloosa Appaloosa
With your head held high
Appaloosa Appaloosa
Proudest horse a man could ever ride
