If I were an Arapaho Indian,

I would still love you.

If I were an Arapaho Indian,

I would still be true.

I don't know about the Navajo,

The Blackfeet or the Sioux,

But if I were an Arapaho Indian,

I would still love you.

I'd go up to your father,

Big Chief, very tough,

I'd get him to fetch his Pipe of Peace,

And let me have a puff.

I would tell your brother.,

Your sisters and your Ma,

I'm gonna take you to my wig-wam,

You're gonna be my squaw.

You'll wear feathers in your hair,

Long beads, moccasin shoes,

And if fate is kind to us,

We'll have a young papoose.

It's all imagination,

But I maintain the view,

That if I were

An Arapaho Indian,

I would still love you.
