Chieftain had his daughter slain
For falling in love with a devil
Chieftain had his daughter’s lover slain
For the devilish deeds of her lover
Chieftain was no sagacious being
Had no wisdom to his vantage
Beadsmen were all around him
But lacked he respect for a craftsman
His daughter’s lover sang her a serenade
This to Chieftain was a wild bassoon
As he had no taste for a soothing music
Chieftain made his daughter’s lover meet his doom
Throng watched this vile act
Marred was Chieftain’s image
But Chieftain had his redundant pride
And Chieftain had his daughter slain
Words then went around the valley
That the land is better acephalous
The Chieftain has no wisdom to his vantage
The Chieftain is pernicious
They slain him and had him burned
Improvised was a play on Chieftain
Since then is the tale heard and said
There was a Chieftain who had his daughter slain
