THE BLUE JUNIATA
Words and Music by Mrs. M. D. Sullivan
Arranged for pianoforte by E. L. White
Published 1842 by Oliver Ditson

Wild rov'd an Indian girl,
Bright Alfarata,
Where sweep the waters of the blue Juniata.
Swift as an Antelope,

Thro' the forest going,
Loose were her jetty locks In wavy tresses flowing.
Gay was the mountain song,
Of bright Alfarata,

Where sweep the waters of the blue Juniata.
Strong and true my arrows are In my painted quiver,
Swift goes my light canoe A-down the rapid river.
