Lyrics

The lyrics as written by Williams: [Williams, "Golden Arrow" (Sheet music).] :"Out in the shade of a glade sat a maid,":"With burning cheeks all aglow;":"Eyes black as night, but as bright as the light of any sunset in Idaho:":"For by her side was the pride of a tribe, the son of Chief Arrow-Bow":"And in the ear of his dear, sweet and clear, he whispered low.":"Chorus:::"My little Golden Arrow I love you"::"You've pierced my heart it's true, pretty Sioux, through and through,"::"Take me to be your fallen sparrow, do—"::"For Golden Arrow my life belongs to you."::"(repeat)"

:"She then replied "I'm your bride by your side,":"We'll hunt the big buffalo,":"I'll be your dear, never fear, ever near,":"For I'm your Arrow and you're my 'beau'.":"You lead the way where you may from today, for you must guide me, you know.":"Then I can see we'll agree, come with me," said Arrow-Bow.":"(Chorus)"
