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 Universe 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.
