 There once  was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow  Hand.
 He fell  in love with the maiden known as White  Sand.
 They vowed their love would last forever mo-re,
 then came  the day that they had waited for.
Yellow  Hand brought her a golden feather.
White  Sands said a prayer for good weather.
 The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong,
 then Yellow  Hand began their wedding song.
O  - o, O  - o, O  - o.  O - o, O  - o.
 To-night,  tonight, we will be one.
 We'll walk  in the land of the midnight sun.
Oh,  White Sand, come hold  my lonely hand.
 Then they  left the warmth of the wedding fire,
rode  into the hills, climbing higher.
 And suddenly the snow came swirling down,
they  were lost, the trail could not be found.
O  - o, O  - o, O  - o.  O - o, O  - o.
 To-night,  tonight, we will be one.
 We'll walk  in the land of the midnight sun.
Oh,  White Sand, come hold  my lonely hand.
 They ne-ver  returned from para-dise,
they  went to their places in the skies.
 And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly,
if  you listen close, you will hear him cry.
O  - o, O  - o, O  - o.  O - o, O  - o.
 To-night,  tonight, we will be one.
 We'll walk  in the land of the midnight sun.
Oh,  White Sand, come hold  my lonely hand.
