Ne-Ha-Nee
Bob Nolan
Long ago, ‘twas here, I know
Lived the fairest Indian maid
Daughter of a chieftain brave
Here beside the lake she stayed
Far and near
The waters clear
Blessed her from their deep domain
Blessed her with this lovely name…
Ne-Ha-Nee
It must be she is heaven’s daughter
For her eyes and the skies
Form the lake’s clear water
Sunlight plays, dancing rays
While the ripples bless her
On the shore evermore
Where the waves caress her
Far along the shimmering shoal
The shallow waters clear
Echo to her lovely voice
As she is drawing near
See her smile, all the while
For the sunbeams taught her
To be gay all the way
Ne-Ha-Nee, Clear Water
