Black brown eyes Where'd you learn to lie? Black brown eyes Where'd you learn how to lie? Hey now, how'd it come this far? Why don't we know who we are? Love changed hands from red to white Stories gone into the night I asked my old graying auntie "Tell me, tell me history" She just laughed and turned her head "Hush now, child" is all she said "Gone and dead" is what she said Black brown eyes Where'd you learn to lie? Black brown eyes Where'd you learn? Where'd you learn? Where'd you learn how to lie? All your truths gotten traded in Your black brown eyes and red man skin Stories folded carefully Fold away your history I asked my old graying auntie "Tell me, tell me history" She just laughed and turned her head "Hush now, child" is all she said Stories lost now in her grave Sweetgrass filled the air that day Sweetgrass I will burn and pray Sweetgrass make her story stay Black brown eyes I know why you lie Black brown eyes I know why I know why I know why you lie
