He was just a boy They called him Rising Sun He grew up proud and strong
Sound of ancient songs Ringing in his ears For so many years
Now he's grown a man The music dies Just hear the sound of battlefights
Hear the shooting guns The soldiers rise The Indian run
Ride on, Indian soldier You want to be free Give him back his country He's the last Apache The last Apache
Hear the distant drums Fighting their last fight It ended overnight
Gave his life in vain Rising Sun Won't shine again
Ride on, Indian soldier You want to be free Give him back his country He's the last Apache The last Apache
Once the Indians were free To live in their own country Then came the white man He took away their land And only one of them survived He is the last Apache
Ride on, Indian soldier You want to be free Give him back his country He's the last Apache The last Apache
