Caddo Lake
Now the dawn came on like a red man's ghost
Creepin' through the mist over muddy waters
Indian lad from the Caddo tribe
Sparkin' all night with a rich man's daughter
Daddy found 'em down by the waterside
Lost his temper and a young man died
Shot him with a pearl-gripped 38
Down along Caddo Lake
Daddy said, "Girl, you better get on home
You know I had to do it, you're my only daughter"
Chased her to a boat where she grabbed a knife
Stabbed him through the heart when he finally caught her
They had to tell the law about her Indian beau
They found her daddy they were bound to know
Dumped his body in a cattail brake
Down along Caddo Lake
Now her daddy's been missin' nearly 30 years
Long moss hangs like a curtain of tears
She's livin' all alone on his big estate
While his bones are a home for turtles and snakes
Down along Caddo Lake
Now the dawn comes on like a red man's ghost
Creepin' through the mist over muddy waters
Woman's still longin' for her one true love
Only thing her daddy's money never bought her
Late at night on the estate grounds
She weeps at an Indian burial mound
Never sheds a tear for her daddy's fate
Down along Caddo Lake
No, she never sheds a tear for her daddy's fate
Down along Caddo, way back in the shadows
Somewhere on Caddo Lake
Down along Caddo Lake
Somewhere on Caddo Lake
Down along Caddo Lake
Creepin' through the mist over muddy waters
Indian lad from the Caddo tribe
Sparkin' all night with a rich man's daughter
Daddy found 'em down by the waterside
Lost his temper and a young man died
Shot him with a pearl-gripped 38
Down along Caddo Lake
Daddy said, "Girl, you better get on home
You know I had to do it, you're my only daughter"
Chased her to a boat where she grabbed a knife
Stabbed him through the heart when he finally caught her
They had to tell the law about her Indian beau
They found her daddy they were bound to know
Dumped his body in a cattail brake
Down along Caddo Lake
Now her daddy's been missin' nearly 30 years
Long moss hangs like a curtain of tears
She's livin' all alone on his big estate
While his bones are a home for turtles and snakes
Down along Caddo Lake
Now the dawn comes on like a red man's ghost
Creepin' through the mist over muddy waters
Woman's still longin' for her one true love
Only thing her daddy's money never bought her
Late at night on the estate grounds
She weeps at an Indian burial mound
Never sheds a tear for her daddy's fate
Down along Caddo Lake
No, she never sheds a tear for her daddy's fate
Down along Caddo, way back in the shadows
Somewhere on Caddo Lake
Down along Caddo Lake
Somewhere on Caddo Lake
Down along Caddo Lake
