dancing in moonlight on the desert floor
Navajo woman in moccasins handmade
beads of gold on her buckskin dress
guise of an angel with braided black hair
circling 'round the thorns of pink prickly pear
to the chanting in her ears and beat of drums
singing chants in the Navajo tongue
ancient ritual of the sacred tribal drum
dancing with the chile ristras sun-turned red
angel with a halo of gold 'round her head...
Navajo woman - Tahoma is her name
