SONGS FROM THE GREAT PLAINS

HUNTING SONGS

DAKOTA

I

Something I've killed, and I lift up my voice;
Something I've killed, and I lift up my voice;
The northern buffalo I've killed, and I lift up my voice;
Something I've killed, and I lift up my voice.

II

The saddle bind:
Children dear.
For half a day,
I will kill.
