Apache:Sonny James.
#87 on BB Hot 100 on RCA Records
in 1961.
INTRO:
Lonely Silver Dove..sweet Apache maid.
Lonely Silver Dove..sweet Apache maid.
#1.
Alone, all alone, by the campfire..she
dreamed of her love, her delight.
Away, far away, on the prairie..her love,
Golden Hawk, shared the night.
(INTERLUDE:)
BRIDGE:
Sometimes at night with the moon he would come..
sweet were the moments they shared.
But with the dawn he was gone with the sun.
(INTERLUDE:)
#2.
A smoke sign arose from the prairie..a breeze
sighed a sad mournful song.
The brave Golden Hawk had departed..had gone to
that Great, Great Beyond.
BRIDGE:
Sometimes at night when there s rain in the sky..
she hears her love high above.
He and his pony go thundering by..
OUTRO:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
