On the shores of Gitchgoomy

by the shining big sea water

Hiawatha old and greyin'

listened to the older prophet listened to lagu

And the young men

and the women from the land of Ojibways

From the land of the Dakotas

from the woodlands and the prairies

Stood and listened to the prophet

heard lagu tell Hiawatha

I have seen he said a water

bigger that the big sea water

Broader than the Gitchgoomy

bitter so that none cold drink it

Salty so that none would use it

Hiawatha then spoke to them

stopped all their jeering and their jesting

And he spoke to all the people

It's true what lagu tells you

for I have seen it in a vision

I have also seen the water

to the East to the land of morning

And upon this great water

came a strange canoe with pinions

Bigger than a grove of pine trees

taller than the tallest tree tops

And upon this great canoe

were sails to carry it swiftly

And it carried many people

strange and foreign were these people

And white were all their faces

and with hair their chins were covered

Then said Hiawatha I beheld a darker vision

Many hundreds came behind them

pushed their way across our prairies

In our woodlands rang their axes

in our valleys smoked their cities

Our people were all scattered

all forgetful of our councils

Left their homelands going westward wild and woeful

And the man with bearded

faces the men with skin so fair

With their barking sticks of thunder

drove the remnants of our people

Farther westward westward westward

then wild wild and wilder

Grew the West that once was ours
