LACOOCHEE AND THE WANDERING IRISH LAD

Upon the banks of rainbow springs
Lacoochee sat and dreamed...
Some days she wished that she could be
An Indian chieftain's queen.
Now Danny came along along
From sailing far and wide,
And asked her if she'd go with him
And be his loving bride.
I cannot go away she said,
I love it here so well.
I'll be your Indian princess bride
To love and hold with pride,
If you will only promise me
To stay here by my side.
The sailing ships have come and gone
To lands they do not know,
But Danny didn't go you know,
He's with Lacoochee now.
