Subject: Lyr Add: WATER SPIRITS (from Brewer & Shipley)
Dear Joe,

The lyrics are pretty simple. Here's my best shot at 'em, with phonetic approximation of the Native American part.

Hope this helps!

WATER SPIRITS
(as performed by Brewer & Shipley on "Weeds")

Part 1:
Water spirits springin', springin' round my head
Makes me feel glad that I'm not dead
(Singin') Water spirits springin', springin' round my head
Makes me feel glad that I'm not dead

Part 2:
Wichi tai-tai,
Nee-mo-wah
Wo-rah-neeka, wo-rah-neeka
Hey-nay, hey-nay, no-wah
Wichi tai-tai,
Nee-mo-wah
Wo-rah-neeka, wo-rah-neeka
Hey-nay, hey-nay, no-wah
Wichi tai-tai,
No-wah
A-wichi tai-tai,
No-wah

Repeat Parts 1 & 2 in order, after which you can break it up into a round.
