1
As I awoke this evening
2
With the smell of wood smoke clinging
3
Like a gentle cobweb hanging
4
Upon a painted tepee
5
Oh, I went to see my chieftain
6
With my warlance and my woman
7
For he told us that the Yellow Moon
8
Would very soon be leaving
9
"This I can't believe", I said
10
"I can't believe our warlord's dead
11
Oh, he would not leave the chosen ones
12
To the buzzards and the soldiers' guns"
13
Oh, Great Father of the Iroquois
14
Ever since, I was young
15
I've read the writing of the smoke
16
And breastfed on the sound of drums
17
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk
18
And ride a painted pony wild
19
To run the gantlet of the Sioux
20
To make a chieftain's daughter mine
21
And now you ask that I should watch
22
The red man's race be slowly crushed
23
What kind of words are these to hear
24
From Yellow Dog whom a white man fears?
25
I take only what is mine, Lord
26
My pony, my squaw, and my child
27
Oh, I can't stay here to see you die
28
Along with my tribe's pride
29
I go to search for the Yellow Moon
30
And the fathers of our sons
31
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold
32
And the healin' waters run
33
Tramplin' down the prairie rose
34
Leavin' hoof tracks in the sand
35
Those who wish to follow me
36
I welcome with my hands
37
I heard from passin' renegades
38
Geronimo was dead
39
He'd been layin' down his weapons
40
When they filled him full of lead
41
Now there seems no reason
42
Why I should carry on
43
In this land that once was my land
44
I can't find a home
45
It's lonely and it's quiet
46
And the horse soldiers are comin'
47
And I think it's time I strung my bow
48
And ceased my senseless running
49
For soon I'll find the Yellow Moon
50
Along with my loved ones
51
Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields
52
Without the sound of guns
53
And the red sun sinks at last
54
Into the hills of gold
55
And peace to this young warrior
56
Comes with a bullet hole
