To bid the brave White Chief adieu	A
on the shady shore gathered the warriors	B
His glad boatmen manned the canoe	A
and the oars in their hands were impatient	C
Spake the Chief of Isantees	B
A feast will await the return of my brother	D
In peace rose the sun in the East	E
in peace in the West he descended	F
May the feet of my brother be swift	G
till they bring him again to our teepees	B
The red pipe he takes as a gift	G
may he smoke that red pipe many winters	B
At my lodge fire his pipe shall be lit	H
when the White Chief returns to Kathaga	I
On the robes of my tee shall he sit	H
he shall smoke with the chiefs of my people	J
The brave love the brave and his son	K
sends the Chief as a guide for his brother	D
By the way of the Wakpa Wakan AR	L
to the Chief at the Lake of the Spirits	B
As light as the foot steps of dawn	M
are the feet of the stealthy Tamdoka	I
He fears not the Maza Wakan AS	B
he is sly as the fox of the forest	N
When he dances the dance of red war	O
howl the wolves by the broad Mini ya ta AT	P
For they scent on the south wind afar	L
their feast on the bones of Ojibways	B
Thrice the Chief puffed the red pipe of peace	B
ere it passed to the lips of the Frenchman	Q
Spake DuLuth May the Great Spirit bless	B
with abundance the Chief and his people	J
May their sons and their daughters increase	B
and the fire ever burn in their teepees	B
Then he waved with a flag his adieu	A
to the Chief and the warriors assembled	R
And away shot Tamdoka's canoe	A
to the strokes of ten sinewy hunters	B
And a white path he clove up the blue	A
bubbling stream of the swift Mississippi	S
And away on his foaming trail flew	A
like a sea gull the bark of the Frenchman	Q
	-
AO i e fire arms which the Dakotas compare to the roar of the wings	B
of the Thunder bird and the fierey arrows he shoots	B
	-
AP DuLuth was a devout Catholic	I
	-
AQ Nee wah shtay Thou art good	T
	-
AR Spirit River now called Rum River	D
	-
AS Fire arm spirit metal	J
	-
AT Lake Superior at that time the home of the Ojibways Chippewas	B

	-
AH LITTLE HE DREAMED THEN FORSOOTH THAT A CITY WOULD STAND ON THAT	P
HILL SIDE	U
	-
Then merrily rose the blithe song	I
of the voyageurs homeward returning	I
And thus as they glided along	I
sang the bugle voiced boatmen in chorus	B
	-
SONG	I
	-
Home again home again bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
He rides on the river with his paddle in his hand	V
And his boat is his shelter on the water and the land	V
The clam has his shell and the water turtle too	A
But the brave boatman's shell is his birch bark canoe	A
So pull away boatmen bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
	-
Home again home again bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
His couch is as downy as a couch can be	S
For he sleeps on the feathers of the green fir tree	S
He dines on the fat of the pemmican sack	I
And his eau de vie is the eau de lac	I
So pull away boatmen bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
	-
Home again home again bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
The brave jolly boatman he never is afraid	W
When he meets at the portage a red forest maid	W
A Huron or a Cree or a blooming Chippeway	X
And he marks his trail with the bois brules AU	Y
So pull away boatmen bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
Home again home again bend to the oar	O
Merry is the life of the gay voyageur	O
	-
In the reeds of the meadow the stag	I
lifts his branchy head stately and listens	B
And the bobolink perched on the flag	I
her ear sidelong bends to the chorus	B
From the brow of the Beautiful Isle AV	Z
half hid in the midst of the maples	B
The sad faced Winona the while	A2
watched the boat growing less in the distance	B
Till away in the bend of the stream	B2
where it turned and was lost in the lindens	B
She saw the last dip and the gleam	B2
of the oars ere they vanished forever	O
	-
AU Burnt woods half breeds	B
	-
AV Wita Waste Beautiful Island the Dakota name for Nicollet	W
Island	W
	-
Still afar on the waters the song	I
like bridal bells distantly chiming	I
The stout jolly boatmen prolong	I
beating time with the stroke of their paddles	B
And Winona's ear turned to the breeze	B
lists the air falling fainter and fainter	O
Till it dies like the murmur of bees	B
when the sun is aslant on the meadows	B
Blow breezes blow softly and sing	I
in the dark flowing hair of the maiden	K
But never again shall you bring	I
the voice that she loves to Winona	C2
