Автор мелодии: Richard Crooks / Sioux Tribe
According to one account, "By the Waters" was inspired by an ancient
Sioux love song sung for Lieurance in 1911 by one Sitting Eagle. The
legend associated with the song has also been preserved and reads like
a Native American version of Romeo and Juliet.

3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Moon Deer, How near
5 -4 5 -4 4 3 -2 2
Your soul divine.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Sun Deer, No fear
5 5 -4 5 -4 3 4
In heart of mine.
5 -4 5 -4
Skies blue, O'er you.
-4 4 -4 4
Look down, In love;
5 -4 5 -4
Waves bright, Give light
3 -5 3 6
As on they move.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Hear thou, My vow
5-4 5-4 4 3 -2 2
To live, to die.
3 5 5 4 3 6 -6 5
Moon Deer, Thee near,
5 5 -4 5 -2 4
Beneath this sky.
