Lyrics
Chorus
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
Chorus
Pocahontas, Pocahontas
Fried that steak for her old Englishman
Her father let his hatchet drop
And gave good John Smith a chop
And Pocahontas poked it in the pan
Chorus
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
Chorus
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
