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
