| Awake O Little Moccasins and dance for me to night | B |

| Your hair was all a gleamy gold your eyes a corn flower blue | C |
| Your cheeks were pink as tinted shells you stepped light as a fawn | D |
| Your mouth was like a coral bud with seed pearls peeping through | C |
| As gladdening as Spring you were as radiant as dawn | D |

| Come out O Little Moccasins I'll play so soft and low | A |
| The songs you loved the old heart songs that in my mem'ry ring | E |
| O child I want to hear you now beside the campfire glow | A |
| With all your heart a throbbing in the simple words you sing | E |

| For there was only you and I and you were all to me | F |

| Your mother was a half breed Cree but you were white all through | C |
| And I your father was but well that's neither here nor there | I |
| I only know my little Queen that all my world was you | C |
| And now that world can end to night and I will never care | I |

| For there's a tiny wooden cross that pricks up through the snow | A |
| Poor Little Moccasins you're tired and so you lie at rest | J |
| And there's a grey haired weary man beside the campfire glow | A |
| O fiddle mine the tears to night are drumming on your breast | J |
