Apache
They were here before the settlers arrived
They lived off the land, they knew how to survive
But after the great white spirit came
They lost both their land and their fame
There were many native American tribes
Dakota, Apache, Cherokee, to name a few
But from the Apache tribe a legend grew
To his people he was a hero
The legendary warrior known as Geronimo
In battle he was known to kill
With both the gun or the knife
Many an enemy lost their lives
To the heroic Apache's skill
In 1909 Geronimo died
And he was buried in Fort Sill
On Apachean winds his spirit still rides
And his name is used in battle still
