Once't Upon This Ground

VERSE 1
Onc't upon this very ground
Indain children played a round
Over head the sky was blue
Under foot, th green grass grew

VERSE 2
And when playing they could hear
Birdies in the tree tops near
Huts made out of wood or skin
For the homes that they live in

VERSE 3
And when playing they were dressed
They wore blankets for their best

VERSE 4
If these children could be here this very day
We would show them nice playthings
And would teach them how we play
