ये साथी चरण परते जी है नैगुवां विकास खण्ड मवई मंडला, मप्र से बोल रहे है इन साथी ने एक कर्मा गीत रिकॉर्ड किया है जिसके बोल है
अय रे हय रे हैगा माते बारी महान
जिनगी बारे माती रे माते बारी मा रे
हैगा माते बारी मा रे हैगा माते बारी महान
महुवा पूज कि दारु बनाय चुडा पान से चाचा भैया
मामा भांजा बैठ कि पीबे बीच में पहुंचे काका माते बारी महान
दारु पीबे लोग लुगाई दूसर संग म झगडे भैया
कोर्ट कचहरी थाना अदालत पेसी भारी रगड़ा

आहा हे हाय जीना मुसकिल है यार
जिये ला जमीन नहीं मरना है रे ।
भूमहीन को भूमि चाहिए कब्जा के लड़ाई रे भैया- कब्जा के लड़ाई
बैगा भाइयो को जमीन दे दो तभी होगी भलाई
जीना मुस्किल है रे जिये ला जमीन नहीं मरना है रे ।
आदिवासी बैगा भाई बसे जंगल में आज – भैया बसे जंगल में आज ,
वन विभाग ने भगा रहे है कहा छिपाई लाज
जीना मुस्किल है रे जिये ला जमीन नहीं मरना है रे ।
