I got permission from an actual Lumbee to write this song.
lyrics
v1:
The winter wolf carved the H into his chest
He thought that it was best
To face the ice & snow
---
And all his friends asked if it was for real
He said it's no big deal
He said it's just for show
ch:
That's one drunk Lumbee
That's one man stumblin'
To the bushes where he'll stay the night
Wake up with the morning light
v2:
Yale & Harvard pushed the fight into the field
But neither team would yield
Neither man would bow
---
When the glasses started to run dry
Neither man asked why
Neither man asked how
ch:
That's one drunk Lumbee
That's one man stumblin'
To the bushes where he'll stay the night
Wake up with the morning light
v3:
The winter wolf carved the H into his chest
He thought that it was best
ch:
That's one drunk Lumbee
That's one man stumblin'
To the bushes where he'll stay the night
Wake up with the morning light
ch2:
An intoxicated native
Ain't no sense waiting
For the moon to yield to the sun
We all can see it's just begun
