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 |
