INDIAN GIVER (Jenkins)
(Gordon Jenkins

Patti Page
with Gordon Jenkins & his Orchestra
recorded 1956


(scat)
You're an Indian giver,
You gave me your love then took it away!
You're an Indian giver,
You first led me on, then led me astray!

First I spent my roll
On a totem poll
For you,
And then I went
And put up a tent
For two.
Next thing I knew
I'd bought a canoe
On time,
Then you paddled away
And left me without a
Solitary dime!

You're an Indian giver,
My very worst enemy shouldn't have you!
You're an Indian giver,
You really are much too bad to be true!

But you're on your own
And I'm on the phone
And I'm doin' alright pro tem!
You're an Indian giver
And I'm givin' ya back to them!

You're an Indian giver,
My very worst enemy shouldn't have you!
You're an Indian giver,
You really are much too bad to be true!

But you're on your own
And I'm on the phone
And I'm doin' alright pro tem!
You're an Indian giver
And I'm givin' ya back, back to them!
