Apache Lyrics

A Google for Apache lyrics brings more than 317,000 hits.
Yes! They do exist, and I am here to share them with you!
Proof exists, see the pictorial excerpt above from Alberts 1001 Hit Songs Volume 1 above.

Back in the late 50's and in the 60's little Song booklets were available, just full of lyrics of the hits of the day. The book has long disappeared but I remember the Apache lyrics being in one of these, probably again from Alberts.

I have found a blog with the full lyrics, written by Sonny James (I have reproduced the lyrics because links can go dead:

Apache lyrics

Lonely Silver Dove
Sweet Apache maid
Lonely Silver Dove
Sweet Apache maid

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

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

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

Sometimes at night when there's rain in the sky
She hears her love high above
He and his pony go thundering by

You can listen to Sonny James vocal version here:

It features a nice, easy vocal with girly chorus, some twangy guitar, and other interesting guitar fills.
