1. I met an Indian Maiden, many moons ago,

     F                            C        A      D                            G

    and this miss gave me a kiss, then called me her beau.

    I’d have a night she told me, soon we’d say goodbye,

       F                         C        A         D                    G

    then one day she rode away, a teardrop in her eye.
