The titular Wovoka was a Paiute spiritual leader who founded the Ghost Dance movement, which spread across several Native American Nations. The Ghost Dance was a dance believed to unite the tribes with the dead and bring them peace and prosperity.
In the moon of the fallen leaves
Wovoka appeared one day
He had come of the land of spirit
With the message of prophecy
The flood will come and save you
Next spring when the good times come
From the lake of the pyramids
Wovoka was there to say
Our people must dance
Keep on dancing, keep on dancing
Our people must sing
Keep on singing, keep on singing for the good times to come
Gin, Ricky, Ginny Ricky
Gin, Gin, Gin
On the third day a fire let your spirit be suspended Wovoka
Said Little Kid
From the park of the iron horse they saw Wovoka
To the dance of the ghost and say
Our people must dance
Keep on dancing, keep on dancing
Our people must sing
Keep on singing, keep on singing for the good times to come
Gin, Ricky, Ginny Ricky
Gin, Gin, Gin
His power is legend and his teaching's true
Wovoka, the red and the seeds
The beauty of his wisdom is an Indian song
Wovoka, the property
Our people must dance
Keep on dancing, keep on dancing
Our people must sing
Keep on singing, keep on singing for the good times to come
Our people must dance
Keep on dancing, keep on dancing
Our people must sing
Keep on singing, keep on singing for the good times to come
Our people must dance
Keep on dancing, keep on dancing
Our people must sing
Keep on singing, keep on singing for the good times to come
