Keeper of the Drum

Written by Lisa Perley Dutcher to Honour Elder Maggie Paul

  In '46 a child was born
  Called a baby girl
  They didn't realize that she'd become
  Keeper of the Drum (x3)

  Ancestors they saw
  Who she really was
  They helped her become
  Keeper of the Drum (x3)

  Chorus:
  Wey-hi-wey-hi-yu
  Wey-hi-hi-yu
  Wey-hi-wey-hi-yu
  Wey-hi-hi-yu
  Keeper of the Drum (x3)

  Feelin' Mother Earth's heartbeat
  She knew where she belonged
  Keep sharin’ those songs
  Keeper of the Drum (x3)
 
  Many tried to change her
  From who she would become
  But she stood strong
  Keeper of the Drum (x3)

  Chorus

  Maggie Paul is sharin' chants
  It’s medicine to our soul
  Sing it loud and strong
  Keeper of the Drum (x3)
  
  Chorus
