lyrics

Broadway was a Native American Trail

Come along children, and listen to my tale,
‘Bout the days when Broadway was an Indian Trail
Come-a ti-yi yippa, come-a T-I-yay, ki yi yippa-yi yay

Manahata had a tribe downtown
The Lenni Lenape are who you would have found
Come-a ti-ya wo-ha, yip-I yay, whoop-ala yip-I yay

They lived on the river in their wigwam huts
They called this river Muh-he-ken-ne-tuk
Come-a ti-yi-yippa, come-a whoop-a-la-yay, whoop-a-la yip-I yay

They fished on this river in dugout canoes
Thousands of years before me and you
Come-a yippa-yippa-yippa come-a yip-I-yay, whoop-a-la yip-I yay

Can you speak Algonquin, any Lenape talkers?
That was the language of the native New Yorkers
Come-a whoop-a-la yip-yip-yip-yip-yip, come-a whoop-a-la yip-I yay

Out in Brooklyn on a bay by the sea
Lived a Lenape tribe called the Canarsie
Come-a whoa-ha yip, yip-I yay, whoop-a-la yip-I yay

Along the shores of Gowanus creek
Delicious oysters, and plenty to eat
Come-a ti-yi yippa, come-a T-I-yay, ki-yi yippa-yi yay

Do you wanna learn more, have a little look
At the library you can git yourself a book
Come-a ti-yi wo-ha, yip-I yay, whoop-ah yip-I yay

Come along children, listen to my tale,
‘Bout the days when Broadway was an Indian Trail
Come-a whoa-ha yip, yip-I yay, whoop-a yip-I yay
