Oh Navajo Girl

Oh Navajo Girl
Music/Lyrics by Eric Hansen

Oh Navajo girl
In your huckleberry bush
Hiding away
From the push, push, push
With each pick of a berry
A prick from the vine
That is life
Oh Navajo girl

Oh Navajo girl
With the long black hair
May the berries protect you
May they take good care
May they bathe you in silence
Surround you with love
Be at peace
Oh Navajo girl

She-nah-sha
May you walk into beauty
Ha-go-long-on-eh-eh
Until we meet again
She-nah-sha
May you walk into beauty
Oh Navajo Girl

Listen to the sounds
Arou-ou-ound you
Alone, alone, but not alone
Oh no, you’re never alone
Grizzly bears in the woods
Busy bees in the flowers
Good spirits all around

She-nah-sha
May you walk into beauty
Ha-go-long-on-eh-eh
Until we meet again
She-nah-sha
May you walk into beauty
Oh Navajo Girl

Oh Navajo girl
In your huckleberry bush
Hiding away
From the push, push, push
With each pick of a berry
Leave one for the bears
That is good
Oh Navajo girl
