Josh Bogin did a couple of children's albums for Folkways, but this song wasn't on either of them. There's a Josh Bogin who's Magnet School Director for Springfield (Massachusetts) Public Schools - I wonder if that's him. I'll do a transcription of the Anne Dodson recording if somebody doesn't beat me to it - I don't have time for a couple of days. Here's the chorus of the song as she sings it:

All before me peaceful,
All behind me peaceful,
Under me peaceful,
Over me peaceful,
All around me peaceful -
All around me peaceful.

By the way, the Anne Dodson Website says she was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2002, but apparently she still performs occasionally. Her recordings are just wonderful, by the way.

In the meantime, I found this:



WAR GOD'S HORSE SONG
(Sung by Navajo Tall Kia ah'ni and interpreted by Louis Watchman)

I am the Turquoise Woman's Son,
On top of Belted Mountain
Beautiful horses--slim like a weasel!
My horse has a hoof like striped agate,
His fetlock like a fine eagle-plume;
His legs are like quick lightning.
My horse's body is like an eagle-plumed arrow:
My horse has a tail like a trailing black cloud.
I put flexible goods on my horse's back;
The Little Holy Wind blows through his hair.
His mane is made of short rainbows.
My horse's ears are made of round corn.
My horse's eyes are made of big stars.
My horse's head is made of mixed waters
(From the holy springs – he never knows thirst)
My horse's teeth are made of white shell.
The long rainbow is in his mouth for a bridle,
and with it I guide him.
When my horse neighs, different-colored horses follow.
When my horse neighs, different-colored sheep follow.
I am wealthy, because of him.

Before me peaceful,
Behind me peaceful,
Under me peaceful,
Over me peaceful,
All around me peaceful –
Peaceful voice when he neighs.
I am Everlasting and Peaceful,
I stand for my horse.
