Since I Was Just A Little Boy I've Liked To Roam The Hills

And To Hear Wild Stories A-bout The Indians Was My Biggest Thrill

I'd Shout And Yell And Holler Like Them I Wore Moccasins On My Feet

And I'd Make Believe I Was Under A Teepee Every Time I Went To Sleep

G C

My Hair Was Jet Black And I Was Twenty One

Lots Of Pretty Girls A-round

But The Paleface Maidens Didn't Thrill Me None

Around My Cochise County Home Town

One Day I Went To The Reservation And There By A Shallow Creek

Was A Beautiful Indian A'fetchin' Water And I Just Had To Speak

And It Wasn't Very Long Till I Told Her How The Love In My Heart Burned

Recitation: Play Chord Progression As Per Verse In Background.

Son The White Man And Indian Were Fighting When You Were Born

And A Brave Called Yellow Sun Scalped My Little Boy

So I Stole You To Get Even For What He'd Done

Though You're A Full Blooded Indian Son

I Love You As Much As My Own Little Feller That's Dead

And Son Nova Lee Is Your Sister And That's Why I've Always Said....

Repeat Chorus (Fading)
