Hunted, and betrayed
Hunted and badgered, eh
Jimmy and his youth
Bit with a sharp tooth
Charles, would divide
So Jimmy had taken north side
This world, wasn't for
An Indian warrior

Oh, Chippewa
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh
Learning the words that we heard when saw him fall
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh

Jimmy, unimpressed
Stood there so still and fearless
Angry, undeterred
(We're learning words)
A voice that could be heard
Traitor by the white man's claw
Burned by a firefly
Who touched the Sun and died
He will repeat it

Oh, Chippewa
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh
Learning the words that we heard when we saw him fall
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh

Chippewa, I guess
You've got your early prom
We sing for Jimmy

Stay where you are
I never heard words so hollow
If you really love me
How can you treat me this way

Oh, Chippewa
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh
Bow-bubeh-bow-bubeh-bow-bubeh Chippewa
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh
Oh, Chippewa
Chippewa
Chippewa, eh
