Four Sacred Drummers

Gayo-wah-jee-nay-hay yah-ah hay-ah-oh
Gayo-wah-jee-nay-ay-ho

We offer ye who travel
and stumble across our path
the most fruitful among blessings
to escape wary evil's wrath.

We pray to strong Father Sky
and beloved Mother Corn
for our dried bones need great nurture
lost voices and plagued souls reborn.

Chant between the drum's bellowing beat
respond in song and come take a seat.
