Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Day is on
Look for me
I'll be gone
cause today's the day
I'm gonna see him again
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
who loves him so
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
and I'm just another little girl
who loves him so
Once he stopped
and talked to me
I found out
how dreams can be
with a big wide smile
and a big white hat
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
and I'm just another little girl
who loves him so
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
and I'm just another little girl
who loves him so
Sun is up
Day is on
Look for me
I'll be gone
cause today's the day
I'm gonna see him again
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
and I'm just another little girl
who loves him so
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
and I'm just another little girl
who loves him so

Sun is up
The morning has come
Day is on
The day has started
Look for me
Try to find me
I'll be gone
I'll be leaving
Cause today's the day
Because today is the day
I'm gonna see him again
I'm going to see him one more time
He's an Indian cowboy in the rodeo
He is a Native American cowboy who participates in rodeos
and I'm just another little girl
And I am just a young woman
who loves him so
Who loves him deeply
Once he stopped
At one time he halted
and talked to me
And conversed with me
I found out
I learned
how dreams can be
How dreams can become reality
with a big wide smile
With a big and wide grin
and a big white hat
And a large white cowboy hat

Two months earlier on April 1st, 1972 "Mister Can't You See" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100; eventually it peaked at #38 and spent 8 weeks in the Top 100... Reached #21 in Canada,,, And two months later on August 19th "He's An Indian Cowboy in the Rodeo" entered the Top 100 for 2 weeks and reach #98... R.I.P. Mr. Clark...

A CLASSIC!!!!

I like this version better than the original from 1972. I used to own that one on 45. I can imagine the recording studios in those days probably wouldn't let Buffy put the indigenous sounding parts in the original song because they wanted to make the song more pop music acceptable for white radio station owners. Glad those days are over where they don't have such a stranglehold anymore over what people listen to.
