  The 
  song 
  relates 
  to 
  the 
  story 
  of 
  two 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  Shell 
  society 
  

   who 
  were 
  determined 
  to 
  kill 
  each 
  other 
  by 
  the 
  power 
  of 
  their 
  magic. 
  

   One 
  of 
  these 
  men 
  was 
  fond 
  of 
  the 
  wild 
  potato 
  and 
  used 
  to 
  go 
  at 
  the 
  

   proper 
  season 
  to 
  a 
  certain 
  spot 
  to 
  gather 
  them. 
  His 
  opponent 
  knew 
  of 
  

   this 
  habit 
  and 
  exercised 
  his 
  magic 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  rattlesnake 
  hid 
  in 
  the 
  

   grass 
  near 
  this 
  place. 
  When 
  the 
  man 
  went 
  to 
  dig 
  potatoes 
  he 
  was 
  

   bitten 
  by 
  the 
  snake 
  and 
  died 
  — 
  not 
  of 
  the 
  bite, 
  it 
  was 
  claimed, 
  but 
  

   from 
  the 
  effect 
  of 
  the 
  magic 
  that 
  put 
  the 
  snake 
  there. 
  This 
  song 
  

   dates 
  from 
  the 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  century.
