The Indians, the Indians, they lived for many years
In North and South America, before anybody else appeared.
The Indians, the Indians, loved every river and tree,
And for many years, for centuries, they cared for them faithfully.
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiya, hiya, hiya ya!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiyiyiyiyi YA!!
The Indians, the Indians, they knew how to work the land,
And when the Pilgrims came, the Indians helped them understand
How to grow fresh corn and other crops, so they’d have the things they need:
The Indians, the Indians, were faithful friends indeed!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiya, hiya, hiya ya!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiyiyiyiyi YA!!
The Indians, the Indians, if it were not for them,
We wouldn’t have America, they were true and loyal friends
To the fathers of our country when they were arriving here:
The Indians, the Indians – let’s give them another cheer!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiya, hiya, hiya ya!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiyiyiyiyi YA!!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiya, hiya, hiya ya!
Hiya ya! Hiya ya! Hiyiyiyiyi YA!!
