Pocahontas was a squaw, a young Virginian,
She's the first American, that wed an English man;
John Smith fell in love with her, because she show'd good form,
Married her, and took her home to keep his old wigwam.
Pocahontas Pocahontas,
Pretty as a little Prairie Rose,
When John Smith saw this Indian Miss,
He came and asked her for a kiss,
But Pocahontas poked him in the nose.
Pocahontas' father treated John Smith very stern,
He tied John Smith to a stake, and said he'd have to burn;
Father soon released him just for Pocahontas sake,
But when they untied John Smith he went and ate the steak.
Pocahontas Pocahontas,
Fried that steak for her old English man,
Her father let his hatchet drop,
And gave good old John Smith a chop,
And Pocahontas poked it in the pan.
Pocahontas' father caught her husband Mister Smith,
Father said "I'll kill this pale face you've been flirting with;"
She said "Papa let him live, he'll pay for all my grub,
He won't be home very much, he's joined an Indian Club."
Pocahontas, Pocahontas,
Papa said John Smith would have to die,
She said to John I'll save you dear,
Then papa tried to interfere,
And Pocahontas poked him in the eye.
Pocahontas' father and her husband so they say,
Played a game of poker once to while the time away;
They were playing on a cliff, but papa acted rough,
He pushed John Smith off the cliff but that was just a bluff.
Pocahontas, Pocahontas,
In that little poker game she got,
Her husband bet two safety pins,
Against her father's moccasins,
And Pocahontas poked them in the pot.
