Another short history lesson. This one took a lot of thought.
I enjoyed the research though especially about where he got his name. Legend had it that was from Mexican soldiers screaming to St. Jerome to save them from their fate.

Geronimo © 2013 Vic Arnold
v1
Born on the prairies where the wind blew free
Warmed by the sun and sheltered by the trees
We hunted the wild beast, we gathered nuts and corn
In winter we wore the skin of deer to keep us warm
v2
There were no reservations where we lived content
Each day we prayed to Usen for our wisdom and our strength
When soldiers killed my family and sought for us to tame
I vowed to make them tremble every time they heard my name
ch.
Geronimo leaves no tracks. Geronimo's everywhere.
Geronimo will steal your cattle. Geronimo will take your hair
Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo
v3
We fought in Arizona, down to New Mexico
All the way to Texas the bloody river flowed
Made peace at Casa Grande but they filled us with mescal
Then while we were sleeping they took us back to hell
v4
And now I have been tamed and I learned the white mans way
I long to be Goyathlay of the Bedonkohe
My dimming sight is clearer I see all from where I stand
I should not have surrendered, should have fought to the last man

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.
