Shallow Water Lyrics by Cha Wa

My People

2021

Indians (Woah)
Indians (Woah)
I say Indians (Woah)
I say Mardi Gras comin', boy, it won't be long (Creole Wild West)
(Woah, Golden Eagles)
Say I got the whole gang comin, singin' Indian songs (Woah)
Said my Mama said, "Don't worry, boy, don't you run" (Woah)
She said the Spy got the hatchet and the Chief got the gun (Woah, Golden Eagles)
Ever since a little bitty boy, I ain't never been scared (Cha Wa, Cha Wa)
Say I leave my house with my face painted red (Woah, Golden Eagles)
Say Katy-Me-Hockoah A-Ooh Nah Nay (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Oh, the Injuns comin' on the holiday (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Say nobody keel, ya better not run (Shallow water, oh Mama)
We gonna shoot coonafoona 'til the mornin' comes (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Hooray that mornin', thunder and rain (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Tell 'em my Big Chief in the Hall of Fame (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Hooray that mornin', say let 'em come (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Say nobody kneel, ya better not run (Shallow water, oh Mama)
I was a little bitty boy on the battlefield (Shallow water, oh Mama)
When you shoot coonafoona, you shoot to kill (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Load my pistol, sharpen my blade (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Tell 'em load my pistol, sharpen my blade (Shallow water, oh Mama)
I danced that mornin' with feathers in my head (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Tell 'em my shal-Lay a my shallow (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Tell 'em my shallow water from your front door (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Picayune Picayune is what the paper say (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Tell the Injuns comin', their face painted red (Shallow water, oh Mama)
I die, got killer ways (Shallow water, oh Mama)
I die, got killer ways (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Oh, the Injuns comin' on a holiday (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Say I ran through the ocean, swam through mud (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Eat buffalo meat, drank panther blood (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Hooray that mornin', say let 'em come (Shallow water, oh Mama)
I died that mornin', say nobody run (Shallow water, oh Mama)
You can tell I'm an Injun by the way I look (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Got eyes like a hawk and teeth like a wolf (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Picayune Picayune, tell 'em what I know (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Well, you wanna be an Injun but you got to sew (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Say Mardi Gras comin', it won't be long (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Tell 'em Mardi Gras mornin', it won't be long (Shallow water, oh Mama)
Boy, Injuns are comin' and they sing their songs
