Shawnee

Shawnee

Down throughout these long years
God has carved out a beautiful valley
Flowing through it is the Ohio river
This is home to many people like me

This valley once saw tribes of Indians
One of these tribes was the Shawnee
Ousted by the settlers who moved in
Their land was taken and they did flee

Today we remember this Indian tribe
We named a forest in their memory
In Portsmouth there is a fine college
It's name is Shawnee State University

There are still arrowheads and hatchets
Found where there once was a battleground
So sad the Indians were driven from here
Today only the name of Shawnee is found
