Geronimo Rock - Johnny & The Roccos

Geronimo Rock

Johnny & The Roccos

(Jerry McCain, 1988)

I'm gonna tell you people why Geronimo went to war
I'm gonna tell you people why Geronimo went to war
Well, it wasn't over land, wasn't over a little squaw

[Chorus]
Well, they wouldn't let him rock (wouldn't let him rock)
And they wouldn't let him roll (wouldn't let him roll)
Well, they wouldn't let him rock (wouldn't let him rock)
And they wouldn't let him roll (wouldn't let him roll)
And they wouldn't let him rock 'n' roll
Rock 'n' roll to satisfy his soul

He drank a bottle of fire water, put on his war paint
He drank a bottle of fire water, put on his war paint
He said, I'm gonna rock 'n' roll, you needn't think that I ain't

[Chorus]

He drank a bottle of fire water, put on his war paint
He drank a bottle of fire water, put on his war paint
He said, I'm gonna rock 'n' roll, you needn't think that I ain't

[Chorus]

I'm gonna tell you people why Geronimo went to war
I'm gonna tell you people why Geronimo went to war
Well, it wasn't over land, wasn't over a little squaw

[Chorus]
