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 see 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
