The text from Daughters of Copper Woman
ěso weave and mend, weave and mend
gather the fragments safe and win the sacred circle
sisters, weave and mend, weave and mend
old woman, weave and mendî
This dance, along with the MidWives Dance, are the two most popular dances (most asked for) by women who facilitate womenís groups.
 
Words in English
old woman is watching,watching over you
in the darkness of the storm she is watching
she is weaving, mending, gathering the colours
she is watching over you
chorus
so weave and mend, weave and mend
gather the fragments safe and win the sacred circle
sisters, weave and mend, weave and mend
old woman, weave and mend
old woman is weaving ,gathering the threads 
her body curled oí er her loom, she is weaving -
she is watching ,weaving ,gathering the colours
she is watching over you
chorus
for years iíve been watching, waiting for old woman
feeling lost and so alone, iíve been watching -
now i find her weaving, gathering the colours
now i find her in myself
chorus
