Johnny Cash Old Apache Squaw song lyrics

Old Apache Squaw, how many long lean years you saw?

How many bitter winter nights shiverin' in a cold teepee?

Shiverin' in a cold teepee

Old Apache Squaw, how many hungry kids you saw?

How many bloody warriors runnin' to the sea, fleein' to the sea?

Well, now they tell me that you saw Cochise

When he made his last stand

He said, "The next white man that sees my face

Is gonna be a dead white man"

Old Apache Squaw, how many broken hearts you saw?

Have you had misty eyes for years?

Could that mist be tears? Could that mist be tears?

Well, now they tell me that you saw Cochise

When he made his last stand

He said, "The next white man that sees my face

Is gonna be a dead white man"

Old Apache Squaw, how many broken hearts you saw?

You've had misty eyes for years

Could that mist be tears? Could that mist be tears?

Old Apache Squaw
