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