Just Around the River Bend
Around the river bend
Near the edge of the woods
There lives a Lakota tribe
Celebrating the latest rain
The steady pounding beat of the drum
The women dance a sacred dance
As the men pass the pipe
Nodding in happiness
The ponies whinny in the background
With feathers in their flowing manes
As they toss their heads about
Their hooves ponding the earth with the drums
The celebration can be heard now
As a hundred years have gone by
They will never be only a memory
For their future generations will never forget
