Indian Maiden's Lament Lyrics

IMELDA
By the gray Shaboueesee Riverbank,
The Choctaw maiden sadly sits
With her raven hair uncombed
And drums on her birch bark bagooda
And cries for her brave who has roamed...
Brave
Mine
Come back
Fine
Follow through in your,
(spoken) Uh... Uh...

MILDRED & LILY
In your canoe!

IMELDA
(spoken - angry!) Thank you.
(sung) Brave
Mine
Come back...

MILDRED & LILY
(Spoken) Uh-uh-uh-uh, this time it goes up a fourth there.

IMELDA
(Spoken) What?

MILDRED & LILY
Come back fine!

IMELDA
Come back

MILDRED & LILY
(Spoken) Uh-uh-uh
(Sung) Come back

IMELDA
Come back

MILDRED & LILY
Sorry... come back
Fine
Follow through
In your canoe!
