They were from two warring tribes 

So their love could never be 

He was a painted Apache 

And she was a Cherokee 

He was stealing her father's horses 

When he saw her standing there 

Moon braided bits of silver 

All through her long black hair 

[Chorus:] 

War paint and soft feathers 

Love was meant to be 

Even though he was Apache 

She was a blue-eyed Cherokee 

War paint and soft feathers 

Under the pale moon light 

Doing what tribal laws forbid 

As drums brought the silence of the night 

His strong arms circled round her waist 

His headband touched her brow 

They were of two different tongues 

But their lips met anyhow 

Next to a small oak tree 

Crossed spears forbid their love 

There'd been no peace between their tribes 

Long as eagles soar above 

[Chorus] 

Now the leaves have fallen to the ground 

Over and over again 

From the small oak tree grown taller 

Where once crossed spears had been 

A young man rides his pinto horse 

And he stands there tall and free 

The son of a wild Apache 

And a blue-eyed Cherokee 

[Chorus x2]
