Put Geronimo in jail down south Where he couldn't look A gift horse in the mouth Took old Geronimo by storm Ripped off the feathers from his uniform Chorus: Oh boys, take me back I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac Oh boys, take me back I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac Sergeant, Sergeant, oh don't you feel There's something wrong with your automobile Warden, Warden, oh listen to me Be brave and set Geronimo free Governor, Governor, oh isn't it strange You never seen a car on the Indian range (chorus) People, people, oh don't you know The Indian's got no place to go Jesus told me, and I believe it's true The Red Man's in the sunset too Took our land, now they won't give it back They sent Geronimo a cadillac (chorus)
