Way out West they tell a story
of an Indian maid,
"Wana" was her name.
Ev'ry night beneath the stars
a warrior young and brave,
Sang to her a love refrain.
All the birdies started spooning
when they heard him softly crooning.

Oh! Wana
I wanna love
but you no wanna,
I think some day you're gonna wanna
'cause if you do no wanna
why do you coo
pretty little things like you do,
When for kiss I pray
You always say
Some other day.
Oh! When I wanna you no wanna
when you wanna I no wanna,
So Wana how we ever gonna make heap love!

If you no wanna love me Wana,
mad I gonna be
'Cause I wanna what I wanna
when I wanna, see?
I know 'nother pretty redskin
come to my tepee
and she wanna, yes,
she wanna make heap love to me,
I can no wait a million day.
My fault you no say, 'cause

Wana
I wanna love
but you no wanna,
I think some day you're gonna wanna
'cause if you do no wanna
why do you coo
pretty little things like you do,
When for kiss I pray
You always say
Some other day.
Oh! When I wanna you no wanna
when you wanna I no wanna,
So Wana how we ever gonna make heap love!

Ev'ry time her warrior called
to hold a big powwow,
"Wana" would be there.
But most ev'ryone of them
would break up in a row,
When she gave her brave the air,
Tho' they quarreled when they parted
Here's the way he always started.

Oh! Wana
I wanna love
but you no wanna,
I think some day you're gonna wanna
'cause if you do no wanna
why do you coo
pretty little things like you do,
When for kiss I pray
You always say
Some other day.
Oh! When I wanna you no wanna
when you wanna I no wanna,
So Wana how we ever gonna make heap love!

If you no wanna love me Wana,
mad I gonna be
'Cause I wanna what I wanna
when I wanna, see?
I know 'nother pretty redskin
come to my tepee
and she wanna, yes,
she wanna make heap love to me,
I can no wait a million day.
My fault you no say, 'cause

Wana
I wanna love
but you no wanna,
I think some day you're gonna wanna
'cause if you do no wanna
why do you coo
pretty little things like you do,
When for kiss I pray
You always say
Some other day.
Oh! When I wanna you no wanna
when you wanna I no wanna,
So Wana how we ever gonna make heap love!
