In Pukatawagan
You sing the walkin' blues
In Pukatawagan
You pay your walkin' dues

CHORUS
You keep a walking…
Walkin’ to the Northern Store
I got the Pukatawalkin'
Pukatawalkin' Blues

Travellin’ Professor
Is what they call me now
Travellin’ Professor
Means you’re never sittin’ down

My luggage flew to Churchill
No socks for my feet
My grub’s up with the polar bears
And I’m getting awful weak

Hey, Hey buddy
Tell me where’s the store
Ya justa keepa sloggin’
Only five miles or more

My neighbours all got TV
I got NCI
Neighbours cook with microwaves
I’m eatin’ old cold pie

Waitin’ for the phone man
Bout a month or more
Says I’d like to help you
But I been that way before

Walkin’ to the airport
The plane won’t go
Man sez don’t ya know
It’s 44 below

Winter roads are scary
Ice is breakin’ up at Puk
Roll your windows down
You’ll catch some fish with any luck

Water lines all froze up
Not a drop for tea
Doin' my flushin' and my washin'
Down by the Missinippi

I’m payin’ my Pukatawagan
Pukatawagan dues

MASSACRE
Words and Music by Bill Hillman
From Bill & Sue-On Hillman Album No. 6 / CD No. 10: A Prairie Saga

Granddaddy told of times
He saw men dying
Old women weeping,
Naked children crying
Blankets, trinkets
For land and gold
Ain't nothing left
But memories to hold...
For the...

CHORUS I:
Chickasaw Waccamaw Iroquois Sioux
Susquehanna Missisauga and the Kickapoo
Choctaw Chippewa Yakima Cree
Sissipahaw Wichita and brave Pawnee

Then we chopped down the trees
And poisoned the breeze
Killed all the beasts and
Brought nature to her knees
Now rivers are dying
Too heavy to flow
Proud people crying,
Nowhere to go...
For the...

CHORUS II:
Cherokee Apache Mohave Mandan
Shawnee Comanche Miami Cheyenne
Apalache Muskogee Tutchone Navajo
Missouri Shoshone and proud Arapaho
