VERSE 01: In the wilds of Arizona,/Where the hungry coyote’s shrills,/Ring with terror through the canyons,/And are echoed over the hills/There once lived an Indian chieftain,/And he loved an Indian maid,/Ev’ry night beside her wigwam,/This tune Big Chief sang and played: CHORUS: “Big Chief love um little Kickapoo maiden,/Love um heap much too/Yes! Indeed he do,/Big Chief die for you/Big Chief heart go heap much pitapat,/When he thinks of you/Big Chief go on the warpath maybe,/If your love ain’t true.” VERSE 02: Now this little Kickapoo maiden/Gave Big Chief Indian fling,/One night at an Indian Pow wow,/She return’d his rattlesnake ring/Big Chief drank heap fire water,/Went on warpath ‘cross the hill,/Kill’d ten thousand million Indians,/Ev’ry day with Buff’lo Bill. | |
