lirik lagu the shaman’s song – hobo jim
[intro: broken inuktitut snippets]
[verse 1]
when the fur traders left the bering sea
yankee whalers came with their whiskey
and preyed upon the eskimo
their women and their goods
and helped themselves to anything they could
[chorus]
the eskimo would laugh and sing and dance
he trusted them, his soul was innocence
but the white men had no conscience
and the elders they all knew
others soon would follow and the ways of old wеre through
[verse 2]
many thousand years they kеpt their ways of old
a hearty race surviving in the cold
now the dancing drums are silent
and the skin boat’s broken down
the harpoon heads are scattered
and the children aren’t around
[chorus]
they’ve wandered from their village all alone
the ways of your cities are unknown
but the white men had no conscience
and the elders they all knew
others soon would follow and the ways of old were through
[verse 3]
the walrus bellows in the arctic spray
a village and a people fade away
they’re bound by regulation
on their land and on their sea
forced into extinction by the white economy
[chorus]
and the whalers sounded for the final time
and the elders of the village see the sign
that the white men have no conscience
and the elders they all knew
others soon would follow and the ways of old were through
others soon would follow and the ways of old were through
