Indian Maiden

Now way up in the Oklahoma hills

Mid the white oak trees and the daffodils

Lived the prettiest Indian maid I ever saw

She was the great grand daughter of Geronimo

And her maw was the tribe of the Navajo

I thought I'd like to have her for my squaw

I got to know this Indian miss

And then se about to steal me a kiss

She was just as sweet as the mornin' dew

We got out under that Indian moon

And then we really started to spoon

Cause she was a romancin' little Sioux

Mmmm I love my Indian ma ay ed

Oh I wish I could of stayed

I said uh honey I love you

She said Pete I love you too

I'll never forget my little Indian maid

Then along came a chief and seventeen braves

And they started out a diggin' a grave

And I said who's that for and the chief said you

Well they kept on diggin' and diggin' away

And I turned to the chief and again I say

Is that sure enough for me and the chief said ugh

I said now Chief I'll marry your daughter

But first I gotta have a drink of water

I think I'll run down to the river and get me a drink

I told White Dove to kiss me quick

And I started out runnin' through them sticks

And I tore my pants and my rawhide underwear

I kept on runnin' I was afraid to walk

Cause here come the chief with his tommyhawk

And I was sailin' over them cactus just like a bird

My boots wore out and I'm all scratched up

And no cowboy should have such luck

Excuse me folks I better get back to the herd

I love my Indian ma ay ed

Mmmm I wish I could of stayed

I wanta go back to see but the chief's still after me

I'll never forget my little Indian maid
