Sad Ole' geronimo

Sad old Geronimo

Riding slowly along

Alone on a road he's ridden before

Singing a warrior's song

Bending in his saddle, defeat on his breath

His people again have been wronged

Blood and tears stain the paint on his face

Like a mountain he keeps his calm

Sad old Geronimo

Beaten but still he rides proud

Moving on down this trail of tears

Facing the gathering cloud

Pages forgotten, too violent to write

Some are forgotten in shame

Down through the white man's recorded time

You'll always remember one name

Sad old Geronimo

Riding slowly along

Alone on a road he's ridden before

Singing a warrior's song

Bending in his saddle, defeat on his breath

His people again have been wronged

Blood and tears stain the paint on his face

Like a mountain he keeps his calm
