Put Geronimo in jail down south
Where he couldnÂ’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 GeronimoÂ’s cadillac
Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in GeronimoÂ’s cadillac

Sergeant, Sergeant, oh donÂ’t you feel
ThereÂ’s something wrong with your automobile
Warden, Warden, oh listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Governor, Governor, oh isnÂ’t it strange
You never seen a car on the Indian range

(chorus)

People, people, oh donÂ’t you know
The IndianÂ’s got no place to go
Jesus told me, and I believe itÂ’s true
The Red ManÂ’s in the sunset too
Took our land, now they wonÂ’t give it back
They sent Geronimo a cadillac

(chorus)
