Hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey!

Hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a hey!

I was there when the little kids were doin' their hey-a hey-a hey!

Dancin' around in a circle doin' their snake dance hey-a hey-a hey!

Hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a ....

I had a jacket from the back of a fox

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!

A warrior and a hunter were my only friends

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!

Hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a ....

I want to be a civilized man

But no one is sane enough to show me how I can

Hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a ....

Fishin' along the San Juan River smokin' driftwood

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!

I was there when the little kids were doin' their hey-a hey-a hey!

Hey-a hey-a hey-a hey-a ....
