Peace In The Valley |
Pulling into Douglas on a hot October night |
On up above us, there’s a moon on the rise |
Just off the blacktop there’s a sign along the road |
And its a marker for the place where they got Geronimo |
For peace in the valley |
Lay down his shield |
And surrendered to the white man |
Hot on his heels |
Peace in the valley |
But, oh, Geronimo |
You can’t raise up your children |
And watch them grow |
Without peace in the valley |
Down below |
He was a bona fide Indian chief |
East Arizona was his pride and keep |
Down through the Pacos they tried to take him down |
Till an hour from the border but he stopped and turned around |
And cried peace in the valley |
Lay down his shield |
And surrendered to the white man |
Hot on his heels |
Peace in the valley |
But, oh, Geronimo |
You can’t raise up your children |
And watch them grow |
Without peace in the valley |
Down below |
Peace in the valley |
But, oh, Geronimo |
You can’t raise up your children |
And watch them grow |
Without peace in the valley |
Down below |
