Geronimo’s Cadillac Lyrics By Michael Murphey

    well they put geronimo in jail down south
    where he couldn’t look the gift horse in the mouth
    sergeant sergeant don’t you feel
    there’s something wrong with that automobile
    governor governor isn’t it strange
    they didnt have no cars on the indian range
    warden warden please listen to me
    be brave and set geronimo free

    whoa boys take me back
    i want to ride in geronimo’s cadillac
    whoa boys take me back
    i want to ride in geronimo’s cadillac
    d electric
    let me ride let me ride

    warden warden don’t you know
    prisoners have no place to go
    they took old geronimo by storm
    ripped off the feathers from his uniform

    jesus tells me i believe its true
    the red man is in the sunset too
    took all his land now they won’t give it back
    and they sent geronimo a cadillac
