As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging [00:00:22]
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee [00:00:30]
He went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman [00:00:38]
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving [00:00:46]
Oh this I cant believe I said I cant believe our warlords dead [00:00:55]
He would not leave the chosen ones [00:01:04]
To the buzzards and the soldiers guns [00:01:07]
Oh great father of the iroquois ever since I was young [00:01:13]
I've read the writing of the smoke [00:01:21]
And breast fed on the sound of drums [00:01:25]
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild [00:01:30]
To run the gauntlet of the sioux [00:01:38]
To make a chieftains daughter mine [00:01:41]
And now you ask that I should watch [00:01:46]
The red mans race be slowly crushed [00:01:50]
What kind of words are these to hear [00:01:54]
From yellow dog whom white man fears [00:01:58]
I take only what is mine lord my pony my squaw and my child [00:02:30]
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribes pride [00:02:45]
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons [00:02:59]
Where the red sun sinks [00:03:13]
In the hills of gold and the healing waters run [00:03:16]
Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand [00:03:33]
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands [00:03:48]
I heard from passing renegades geronimo was dead [00:04:02]
He'd been laying down his weapons [00:04:14]
When they filled him full of lead [00:04:21]
Now there seems no reason why I should carry on [00:05:17]
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home [00:05:25]
It's lonely and its quiet and the horse soldiers are coming [00:05:32]
And I think its time I strung my bow [00:05:39]
And ceased my senseless running [00:05:43]
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones [00:05:49]
Where the buffalos graze in clover fields [00:05:56]
Without the sound of guns [00:06:00]
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold [00:06:06]
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole [00:06:13]
