Once there lived an Indian maid,
Jennatah
Loved the chieftain of her tribe,
Ottawah,
and she'd feel so happy
when he'd say:
"I love one
and only one,
and that is you,
Tell me pretty Indian maid
will you be true,
Will you be my little Indian bride?"
Then he turned
and softly she replied:

I love you
I'll be true,
I will be your lady love
and little Indian bride,
Ottawah, Ottawah
If you'll go with me to Ottawah.

I love you
I'll be true,
I will be your lady love
and little Indian bride,
Ottawah, Ottawah
If you'll go with me to Ottawah.

Then this little Indian pair
went away,
They had gone to Ottawa,
there to stay,
and they lived as happy as could be:
Ev'ry day away they'd wander
hand in hand,
roaming through the wild woods
of their native land,
thinking of the happy days gone by.
And the time she murmured
with a sigh:

I love you
I'll be true,
I will be your lady love
and little Indian bride,
Ottawah, Ottawah
If you'll go with me to Ottawah.

I love you
I'll be true,
I will be your lady love
and little Indian bride,
Ottawah, Ottawah
If you'll go with me to Ottawah.
