History of Oregon Literature

Mi-kah minch-ah koke en-si-kah2.
An-kut-e yuk-um-a-lah
Kon-a-wa e-dinch ah-gu-it-quah
Quon-sim po-nan-a-kow
Mi-kah gum-inch-e-lute e-me-han
Yok-ah wa-wot gach-o-weet
Uk-ah en-si-kah quot-lanch-ke-hah
Mi-kam toke-ta can-neo-eeb


We, O Lord, are all thy children,
In the past we wicked were,
We were all most deeply wretched,
Always blind and in despair;
Thou didst thy Son our Savior,
He to us instruction gave.
Knowing this, we now are happy,
Thou art good and thou wilt save.

"Whiskey"

Tune—"Bounding Billows"

Ahnkuttie nika tikegh whiskey,1.
(Repeat twice)
Pe aha nika mash.
Alta nika mash.
(Repeat)
Ahnkuttie nika tikegh whiskey,
(Repeat twice)
Pe alta nika mash
Formerly I loved whiskey,
But now I throw it away—
Now I throw it away.

Whiskey hias cultus,2.
Pe alta nika mash—
Alta nika mash.
Whiskey hias cultus,
Pe alta nika mash.
