Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm
Along about eighteen-hundred, I guess
Bm
I took me a trip into the wilderness
Bm
Crossed the Mississippi, let my rifle roar
Bm
No white man had ever been there before
Bm
I turned my face to the settin' sun
Bm
And I lived by my knife and I lived by my gun
Bm
I came to a river, called the Little Buffalo
Bm
And met a pretty maiden, called Mooshatanio
[Refrain]
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
I hugged her and I kissed her on the Little Buffalo
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
The Big Chief's daughter was the Mooshatanio
[Verse 2]
Bm
A brave called Buzzard and a brave called Crow
Bm
And a brave called Hawk loved the Mooshatanio
Bm
They had a big battle with the arrow and the bow
Bm
And the Hawk shot the Buzzard and the Buzzard shot the Crow
Bm
The Hawk and I went a-hunting on a hill
Bm
And I knew it was me he was wanting to kill
Bm
I left him a land where the honeysuckles grow
Bm
And said goodbye to my Mooshatanio
[Refrain]
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
I hugged her and I kissed her on the Little Buffalo
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
The Big Chief's daughter was the Mooshatanio
[Verse 3]
Bm
I went back home, my Mother to see
Bm
And stayed thirty years in Middle Tennessee
Bm
When I got back to the Little Buffalo
Bm
They showed me the grave of my Mooshatanio
Bm
The young chief's heart was brave and true
Bm
His hair was red and his eyes were blue
Bm
His father and his mother, he let me know
Bm
Was the Great White Spirit and the Mooshatanio
{Refrain]
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
He was my son, but I couldn't let him know
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
The Great White Spirit and the Mooshatanio
[Refrain]
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
I hugged her and I kissed her on the Little Buffalo
Bm
Mooshatanio, Mooshatanio
Bm
The Big Chief's daughter was the Mooshatanio
