(C)Since I was just a(F)little boy,I
(C)liked to roam the(G)hills.And to
(C)hear wild stories a(F)boutthe Indians.
(C)Was my biggest(G)thrill.

I'd shout and yell and holler like them,
I wore,moccasins on my feet.
And I'd make believe I was under a teepee.
Every time i went to sleep.

My hair was jet black and I was twenty one.
Lots of perty girls around.
But the pale face maidens didn't thrill me none.
In my Cochese county home town.

Son don't go near the Indians,
Please stay away.
Son don't go near the Indians
Please do what I say.

One day I went to the reservation.
And there by a shallow creek.
Was a beautiful Indian fetching water
And I just had to speak.
She smiled at me and quickly left
but the next day she returned.
And it wasnt long before I told her how
The love in my heart burned.
(repeat 4)
I told my daddy i had found a girl.
Who meant the world to me.
And tommorrow i'd ask the Indian chief.
For the hand of Novalee.
Dad's tremblin' lips spoke softly
As he told me of my life.
Then he said icold never take
This maiden for my wife.
(recitation)
Son, the white man and the indians
Were Fighting when you were born.
And a brave called Yellow Sun.
Scalped my little boy.
So I stole you to get even for wht he done
Though your a full blooden Indian son.
I love you as much as my own son wh's dead.
And son Novalee is your sister.
And that's why I've always said.
