Intro = Tom Tom Beats x 4 bars
Since I Was Just A Little Boy I've Liked To Roam The Hills
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
My Hair Was Jet Black And I Was Twenty One
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
She Smiled At Me Then Quickly Left But The Next Day She Re-turned
And It Wasn't Very Long Till I Told Her How The Love In My Heart Burned
I Told My Daddy I'd Found A Girl Who Meant The World To Me
And To-morrow I'd Ask The Indian Chief For The Hand Of Nova Lee
Dad's Trembling Lips Spoke Softly As He Told Me Of My Life
It Was Then He Said I Could Never Take This Maiden For My Wife
