Lenape Indians – ExperiMental Music

Indigenous Songwriting at the Lenape Indian Village

LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Chorus

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

Chorus

Song Writing and Recording on the Brandywine River

LYRICS
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Livin’ so peacefully
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Smokin’ his pipe and listening to his fiddlers three

Chorus
A merry old soul
A merry old soul
A merry old soul was he

Andrew Wyeth’s Brandywine bank
Makes for perfect scenery
Andrew Wyeth on Brandywine’s bank
Livin’ so peacefully
With his paints and artistry
… he’d capture history

Chorus

The indigenous Lenape
Living in Lenape
The indigenous Lenape
Livin’ so peacefully
Smokin’ peace pipes in a teepee
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers merrily
