• Lyrics:
  Where the cornflow'rs wave once an Indian brave,
  All unfettered by the white man's law,
  Loved a pretty little crowfoot squaw,
  Just the sweetest and the neatest little girl he ever saw.
  She was always coy to this Indian boy,
  To his heart she didn't do a thing;
  When the moonbeams on the river
  Set the shadows all a-quiver,
  Then he'd sing:
  
  chorus:
  I love you and you love me,
  Pretty little Silver Heels;
  I'll build you a big teepee,
  If you will come and cook my meals
  Young Chief's blue and all for you,
  Plenty heap he love sick feels;
  Don't be missing, heap much kissing,
  Silver Heels.
  (repeat chorus)
  
  When the summer goes and the northwind blows,
  In a cozy little wigwam we,
  “Will be always right at home” said he,
  “With a hubby and a chubby little papoose on your knee.”
  But the maiden shy only dropped her eye,
  As a tender little sigh she sighed;
  While her copper colored lover
  'Neath the silv'ry stars above her,
  Once he cried:
