One day I left the reservation
and the road down into town.
I walked in through some swinging doors
Well, the prettiest boy you ever saw
I asked her what she'd like to have
and she said, let me see.
I'll take some fire water, fire water,
A little bit won't do me any harm.
Just give me some fire water, fire water,
Just enough to keep my wigwam
Well, I never tried that stuff before,
I says to the man, just make it two,
there might have been snow,
When I wrapped my lip around one sip,
Hooray for fire water, fire water.
A little bit won't do me any harm.
Just give me some fire water, fire water
Just enough to keep my wigwam
I'm back out on my reservation
and in my head is a misery
If I ever go in there again,
I hope they shoot me dead
Watch out for fire water, fire water
A little bit will do you lots of harm
Don't give me no fire water, fire water
It's something else to keep
