Last of the Mahican
Eastern Algonquian
Native American tribe
An Indian of Indians
As history scribes
This Muhhekunneuw
People of the river
In the tribes around them
In terror shiver
Hudson river warriors
Another tribe chased from their homes
Hounded by horrors
Government clones
A few hundred years later
Its really hard to believe
This warrior tribes
Language in cease
To die with the others
Its their history that's lost
No intelligence to preserve it
Not the white man's cost
Wisconsin settled
With the Munsee
In 200 years time
They'll be here, you'll see
