MANFRED MANN’S EARTH BAND
“Geronimo’s Cadillac”
They put Geronimo in jail down South
Where he couldn’t look a gift horse in a mouth
Sergeant, Sergeant don’t you feel
There’s something wrong with your automobile
Warden, Warden, listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Governor, Governor, ain’t it strange
You never see a car on the Indian range
Oh boys take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s Cadillac
Oh boys I wanna see it for real
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s automobile
Take me, take me, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s (Cadillac)
Warden, Warden, don’t you know
The prisoners ain’t got no place to go
It took ol’Geronimo by storm
They took the badges from his uniform
Jesus told me and I believe it’s true
The redmen are in the sunset too
They stole their land and they won’t give it back
And they sent Geronimo a Cadillac
Oh boys take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s Cadillac
Oh boys I wanna see it for real
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s automobile
Take me, take me, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s (Cadillac)
They put Geronimo in jail down South
Where he couldn’t look a gift horse in a mouth
Sergeant, Sergeant don’t you feel
There’s something wrong with your automobile
Warden, Warden, listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Governor, Governor, ain’t it strange
You never see a car on the Indian range
Oh boys take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s Cadillac
Oh boys I wanna see it for real
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s automobile
Take me, take me, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo’s (Cadillac)
It’s Michael Murphy...
Red, that'd be Michael Martin Murphy ... you must be from up north.
