Lyrics
I was riding down the river in a real old Indian canoe
The bottom fell out and I went down and I came up a hollerin' too
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian
I was shooting with a bow and arrow when
The bow broke and hit me in the face
That sort of thing must not be made for this kind of human race
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian
Somebody told me that a heartache started with an Indian maid
She loved the young brave and he loved her then she up and ran away
The one I love just hurt me, left with someone new
Now I've got a big heartache and I don't know what to do
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian
Somebody told me that a heartache started with an Indian maid
She loved the young brave and he loved her then she up and ran away
The one I love just hurt me, left with someone new
Now I've got a big heartache and I don't know what to do
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian (Give it back to the Indian)
Give it back to the Indian
