Coinneach asked about this song. I can't answer the question, but I can post the lyrics and chords from Rise Up Singing.

GERONIMO'S CADILLAC (1984)
(Charles Quarto and Michael M. Murphy)

They put Geronimo in a jail down south,
Where he couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Sergeant, Sergeant, don't you feel,
There's something wrong with your automobile?
Governor, Governor now ain't it strange,
They didn't have no cars on the Indian range?
Warden, Warden, listen to me:
Be brave and set Geronimo free.

G D C G / C - G - :// (repeat 4X)

CHO: Whoa, boys, take me back,
I wanna ride in Geronimo's cadillac (X4)

Warden, Warden, don't you know,
That prisoners have no place to go?
Took Old Geronimo by storm,
Ripped off the feathers from his uniform.
Jesus tells me, I believe it's true,
The red man is in the sunset, too.
Took all their land and they won't give it back,
Sent Geronimo a Cadillac.

By Charles Quarto and Michael M. Murphy.

Enjoy the song.

Roger in Baltimore
