My Pretty Little Kickapoo 1904

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 10 Jul 2004

Heap big brave loved little Kickapoo,
ooooo,
Pretty coppercolored maiden.
To her tent one night he went to woo,
ooooo,
And his heart with love was laden;
Camp fires are out
the big chief sleeps,
as to her tent he softly creeps,
chanting her name,
heart all aflame,
whispering love words as he came,
pale moon is shining in the sky,
softly the evening breezes sigh,
stolen the kiss, sweeter the bliss,
as he whispers this:

"My pretty little Kickapoo,
I do love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo,
I will be true;
when the sun sinks in the west,
sinks to rest,
'neath the silver moon I'm dreaming,
dreaming of the gleaming
of your big brown eyes,
shining like the stars
that twinkle in the skies,
dreaming you love me as I love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo.

My pretty little Kickapoo,
I do love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo,
I will be true;
when the sun sinks in the west,
sinks to rest,
'neath the silver moon I'm dreaming,
dreaming of the gleaming
of your big brown eyes,
shining like the stars
that twinkle in the skies,
dreaming you love me as I love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo."

Softly sighs the little Kickapoo,
ooooo,
Heap big brave you love me dearly,
from my tribe I'll fly away with you,
ooooo,
for I love you so sincerely;
as o'er the rolling plains they went,
he softly says: "I'll build a tent,
build it for two, just me and you,
my little bright eyed Kickapoo.
There in the land of buffaloes,
you'll be my red skin prairie rose,
winter and spring, kisses I'll bring,
While I softly sing:

"My pretty little Kickapoo,
I do love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo,
I will be true;
when the sun sinks in the west,
sinks to rest,
'neath the silver moon I'm dreaming,
dreaming of the gleaming
of your big brown eyes,
shining like the stars
that twinkle in the skies,
dreaming you love me as I love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo.

My pretty little Kickapoo,
I do love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo,
I will be true;
when the sun sinks in the west,
sinks to rest,
'neath the silver moon I'm dreaming,
dreaming of the gleaming
of your big brown eyes,
shining like the stars
that twinkle in the skies,
dreaming you love me as I love you,
my pretty little Kickapoo."
