| 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 seen 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 | |
| (chorus) |
