Recitation: Play Chord Progression As Per Verse In Background.


Son The White Man And Indian Were Fighting When You Were Born

And A Brave Called Yellow Sun Scalped My Little Boy

So I Stole You To Get Even For What He'd Done

Though You're A Full Blooded Indian Son

I Love You As Much As My Own Little Feller That's Dead

And Son Nova Lee Is Your Sister And That's Why I've Always Said....

Repeat Chorus (Fading)
