Tonalità: E major
Verse 1
D
Tukum was an Indian
brave out in New Mexico.
Carrie was a beautiful maid
G
D
and she loved old Tukum so.
They promised they would both be true
and someday they would marry,
but they both died on the
top of a mountain
G
D
and they called it Tukum Carrie.
Ta -Neh -Pun also fell in love
with the big chief's only daughter,
he had ten thousand nuggets of gold
G
D
tied up in the skin of an otter.
The big chief said,
you braves may fight
for the hand of my daughter Carrie,
and the one who lives to tell the tale
G
D
is the one that she will marry.
Carrie hid on the top of the hill
where the braves would fight their duel
The love she had for Tucum
G
D
burned in her heart like a fuel
When Tucum fell by
Tonopun's knife
uprushed the maiden Carrie
Tonopun caught her in his arms
G
D
said my dear we will marry
While he was searching for her lips,
she pulled her silver dagger,
she stabbed it deep into his heart
G
D
which made him scream and stagger.
She knelt right down by Tucum's side,
she could not keep from crying,
she plunged her dagger in her own heart
G
D
when she saw her love was dying.
When Big Chief saw the tragedy,
he burst the skin of otter.
The nuggets rolled all over the hill
G
D
and around his dying daughter.
He took the dagger from her hand,
his voice rang o 'er the prairie.
The last words that they heard him say
G
D
was, Good -bye Tucumcari
The Indian maidens
and the braids out in New Mexico
Still fall in love
just like they did
G
a long long time ago
D
They sing and dance and make romance
and when they want to marry
The song they sing in the native tongue
G
D
is good -bye Tucumcari
Goodbye Tucumcari,
G
D
Goodbye Tucumcari,
Goodbye Tucumcari.
