I remember a song we used to sing in Girl Guides long ago which had the chorus "Down among the dead men, pow-wow." Can anyone help with words and tune?

'We are Redmen'
An old song, which used to be popular at Brownie and Cub meetings. More recently, this has fallen out of favour owing to concerns over its potentially politically incorrect lyrics - we've kept the song here as a historical record of a once-popular song.
We are the red men, tall and quaint
in our feathers and war paint,
Pow wow, pow wow.
Chorus:
We're the men of the Old Dun Cow,
All of us are red men, feathers in our head men
down among the dead men,
Pow wow, pow wow.
We come home from hunts and wars
greeted by our long-nosed squaws4,
Pow wow, pow wow.
(Chorus)
We can fight with sticks and stones,
bows and arrows, bricks and bones,
Pow wow, pow wow.
(Chorus)
Looks like the one Maggie. I couldn't have found it without magikdragon though, how's that for teamwork!

All these popular musicians of the rock and roll era were Jewish. Some may surprise you. See how many you can identify. I will give you their birth name, or maybe just a clue, and you can give me their stage name. Sounds pretty easy, huh? We'll see.
