Lyrics Buffy Sainte-Marie

Buffy Sainte-Marie

Native North American Child

Who's got a head o' hair to match up with the raven?

Who's got the prairie sun in every smile?

Who's got good credit yet with ol' Mother Nature?

Who-o-o? Native North American child

Who's got the rhythm of the uni inside her?

Who taught the pilgrims how to make it in the wild?

Who sing a 49-er autumnal changes?

Who? Native North American child

Sing about your ebony African Queen

Sing about your lily-white Lily Marleen

Beauty by the bushel but the girl of the hour

Is the native North American prairie flower

Seminole, Apache, Ute, Paiute and Shoshone

Navaho, Comanche, Hopi, Eskimo, Cree

Tuskarora, Yaqui, Pima, Porca, Oneida

O-o-h, native North American me

Sing about your ebony African Queen

Sing about your lily-white Lily Marleen

Beauty by the bushel but the girl of the hour

Is the native North American prairie flower

Cherokee, Muskogee, Fox and Passamaquoddy

Winnebago, Haida, Mohawk, Saulteaux and Souix

Chicksaw, Ojibwe, Cheyenne, Micmac and Mandan

O-o-h, native North American you

Yeah, yeah, baby, North American child
