Dont Go Near The Indians lyrics

Artist  : Rex Allen 
Song : Dont Go Near The Indians
 


{Son, don't go near the Indians
Please stay
away
Son, don't go near the Indians
Please
do what I say}

Since I was just a little
boy
I liked to roam the hills
And to hear
wild stories about the Indians
Was my biggest
thrill

I'd shout and yell and holler like
heck
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
Lots of pretty girls
around
But the paleface maidens didn't thrill
me none
Around my Cochise County
hometown

{Son, don't go near the
Indians
Please stay away
Son, don't go near
the Indians
Please do what I say}

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 returned
And it
wasn't very long till I told her how
The love
in my heart burned

{Son, don't go near the
Indians
Please stay away
Son, don't go near
the Indians
Please do what I say}

I
told my daddy I'd found a girl
Who meant the
world to me
And tomorrow I'd ask the Indian
chief
For the hand of NovaLee

Dad's
trembling lips spoke softly
As he told me of
my life
Twas then he said I could never
take
This maiden for my
wife

SPOKEN:
Son, the white man and
Indianss were fighting when you were born
And
a brave called Yellow Sun scalped my little
boy
So I stole you to get even for what he'd
done
Though you're a full-blooded Indian,
son
I love you as much as my own little feller
that's dead
And, son, NovaLee is your
sister
And that's why I've always
said

SINGING:
{Son, don't go near the
Indians
Please stay away
FADE:
Son,
don't go near the Indians
Please do what I
say}
