ssed By seeing the noble red man In {, bssr gar
enRsesd in the wild and hopeless sssk If drink
Id beer dzjnAers tight
An Isjun sat in . gardsa~
Drinking his lager beer,
He had left his wigwam on the Flains
And his squsw she WASN'T near;
But Dutch girl stood beside him
To hsar what b should say,
And replied b. his 1njun jargon-
Nix cum hsEaSss. unit nix vsrstay."
This berry Injun blubbered
Az be took that Dutch girls hand,
And said, sMe never moro shall -
Ne own, me native laed;
Bear q message--and s0lp0r A1o-
To those distant friends Of mine.
For am Big lnjun-
Big Injnn over the Rhine"
Go tell my brother warriors,
As they sit the camp Gre round,
And listen to my story,
All squatting on the ground,
That drank my lager bravely.
From morn tiil sst Of sun
Beat the Dutch At their own game.
Beat every mothers son;
For sprawled among the empty kegs
Were some grown old on beer
Injun never tasted none,
Until he 6rst cams here
Not one mid ali that throng can say,
He e'er heard me decline
tell you I'm Big lnjun-
Big Injnn over the Rhine"
"Tell my mother that her other sons
Shall comfort her old age,
Chase the buf6slo. scalp the drivers
OF the overland mail stage;
For my father was warrior bold,
And cen n . papoose,!
joyed to know that the old man,
Was Sound upon the GOOSE
And when he died and left
To divide his scanty hoard,
let them take whate'er they would.
But kept my fathers gouyd;
Now take and fill ii high with beer.
Lets see the lager shine
Gross glasses for TIE Big Injun--
Big Injun over the Rhine"
Tell my sister not to whimper
Because she misses one,
When the Indian delegation
Comes back frSm Washington
But look upon them proudly,
And never shed tear,
Her brother's the only 1njun
A. ainx afraid Of beer.
And if some brsss her love should sock,
Then IL would please me much.
