Lyrics
Chorus
Who played poker with Pocahontas
When John Smith went away?
She always dressed up so pretty
Somebody must have fed the kitty
She wore a blush just like every Indian
That led John astray
Poor Johnny’s pipe of peace
Was out the day he quit
When he came back he found
His piece of pipe was lit
Now who played poker with Pocahontas
When John Smith went away?
Chorus
Who played poker with Pocahontas
When John Smith went away?
She always dressed up so pretty
Somebody must have fed the kitty
She wore a blush just like every Indian
That led John astray
He called on her one cold night
In an awful storm
She had no coal but still
She kept her old wigwam
Now who played poker with Pocahontas
When John Smith went away?
