I shall get her some beads, hayah;

The kind that look like boiled ones, hayah;

Then after a while, hayah,

I shall come back home, hayah,

I shall call all my relations together, hayah,

And shall give them all a good thrashing, hayah;

Then I shall go and get married, hayah,

I shall marry two girls at once, hayah;

One of the sweet little darlings, hayah,

I shall dress in spotted seal-skins, hayah,
