"Old Apache Squaw" lyrics

Old Apache Squaw

Old apache squaw
How many long lean years you saw?
How many bitter winter nights
Shivering in a cold teepee?
Shivering in a cold teepee

Old apache squaw
How many hungry kids you saw?
How many bloody warriors
Running to the sea
Fleeing to the sea?

Well, now they tell me
That you saw Cochise
When he made his last stand
He said, "The next white man
That sees my face
Is gonna be a dead white man"

Old apache squaw
How many broken hearts you saw?
Have you had misty eyes for years?
Could that mist be tears?
Could that mist be tears?

Well, now they tell me
That you saw Cochise
When he made his last stand
He said, "The next white man
That sees my face
Is gonna be a dead white man"

Old apache squaw
How many broken hearts you saw?
You've had misty eyes for years
Could that mist be tears?
Could that mist be tears?
Old apache squaw
