Good Bye Red Man Good Bye 1916

Gone are the tom toms
from the prairie wide;
None remain.
Gone are the wigwams
from the mountainside,
and the plain,
The Cherokee and Sioux
have disappeared from view;
Let's pay a tribute to
the last remaining few.

So good bye, Red Man,
oh, Red Man, Good Bye,
You're the last of a noble race.
There'll be a pain in each heart
on the day you depart,
To go to your resting place;
You're the greatest American
we have with us today.
You made it possible
to build the U.S.A.
We owe you more than we can pay;
God Bless You,
Red Man, Good Bye.

So good bye, Red Man,
oh, Red Man, Good Bye,
You're the last of a noble race.
There'll be a pain in each heart
on the day you depart,
To go to your resting place;
You're the greatest American
we have with us today.
You made it possible
to build the U.S.A.
We owe you more than we can pay;
God Bless You,
Red Man, Good Bye.

We'll miss your war dance
and your birch canoe,
When you leave.
Though we have often been unkind to you,
please don't grieve.
For when at last you've found
the happy hunting ground;
Just call your braves around,
and let our tribute sound.

So good bye, Red Man,
oh, Red Man, Good Bye,
You're the last of a noble race.
There'll be a pain in each heart
on the day you depart,
To go to your resting place;
You're the greatest American
we have with us today.
You made it possible
to build the U.S.A.
We owe you more than we can pay;
God Bless You,
Red Man, Good Bye.

So good bye, Red Man,
oh, Red Man, Good Bye,
You're the last of a noble race.
There'll be a pain in each heart
on the day you depart,
To go to your resting place;
You're the greatest American
we have with us today.
You made it possible
to build the U.S.A.
We owe you more than we can pay;
God Bless You,
Red Man, Good Bye.
