Played by the Healy-Treece Band in the early 1980s with Bill Kreutzmann on drums.
They put Geronimo in jail down south
Where he couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth
Sergeant, Sergeant, don't you feel
There's something wrong with your automobile
Governor, Governor, now ain't it strange
They didn't have no cars on the Indian range
Warden, Warden, listen to me
Be brave and set Geronimo free
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Warden, Warden, don't you know
That prisoners have no place to go
Took Old Geronimo by storm
Ripped off the feathers from his uniform
Jesus tells me, I believe it's true
The red man is in the sunset too
Took all their land and they won't give it back
Sent Geronimo a Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
Whoa, boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Geronimo's Cadillac
