The Song

Way out beyond the purple mountains
Where the sky blue waters flow

They tell the legend of Tehabi
The lovely Navajo Rose

She was promised to Tehamo
Greatest hunter ever known

But then one day he fell in battle
And left Tehabi alone

But the Moon God heard her cry
And her carried them above

Made them two stars in the sky
Tehabi and her love . . .

.
Where she wept beside the river
Now a weeping willow grows

And that is the legend of Tehabi
The Lovely Navajo Rose

The story is old . . . . Tehabi . . . .

The story is new . . . . Tehamo . . .

The story in old . . . Tehamo . . .

The story is old . . . . Tehabi . . .

.
And that is the legend of Tehabi

The Lovely Navajo Rose

A Five Page Love Song

Way out beyond the purple mountains

But one day he fell in battle

When she wept beside the river

The story is old . . . . Tehabi . . . .

And that's the story of Tehabi

Tehabi the Navjo Rose

Way out beyond the purple mountains

Where the sky blue waters flow

They tell the legend of Tehabi

The lovely Navajo Rose

She was promised to Tehamo

Greatest hunter ever known
