métis red river song - willie dunn lyrics

[verse 1]
i snap my whip
i draw the blood
make my oxen
slip in the mud
then i drive the train
of the oxen twain
in the métis red river oxen rain

[vocalization]
[verse 2]
the mosquitos came in thousands
as we lit the smokescreen fires
the horses went near crazy
as the oxen went haywire
the mosquitos came in millions
as they blotted up the sky
and we rolled in buffalo hides
and prayed we would not die

[vocalization]

[verse 3]
there’s a package for louise
and somе papers for antoine
some wool for my friеnd louis
and some nails for cousin jean
there’s a bell for the church
and some slippers for the priest
some snuff for john mackenzie
and pepper for a feast

[verse 4]
one day soon
gonna get back home
no more driving through the mud and the loam
no more driving through thick and thin
left our bay and we’re gone again
[vocalization]

[verse 5]
there’s some seeds for the farmers
and some rope so that we may tow
the boats along the river
and some shot for buffalo
some sack cloth ma tante
and some cotton for my bay
some felt for purple gingham
and some drills to make a well
there’s farming gear of sorts
powder in the kegs
ride a swell horse
and stockings for the lace
some canvas and some lace
and some soap to wash a face
some little bells for christmas now
and dry goods by the case

[vocalization]
