Roy Orbison - Indian Wedding Lyrics
There once was an Indian brave by the name of Yellow Hand
He fell in love with a maiden know as White Sands
They vowed their love would last forever more
Then came the day that they had waited for.
White Sands said a prayer for good weather
The ceremonial dance grew loud and strong
Then Yellow Hand began their wedding song.
Oooooh Oooooh Oooh Ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight, We will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh White Sands, come hold my lonely hand.
And rode into the hills climbing higher
And suddenly the snow came swirling down
They were lost the trail could not be found.
Oooooh Oooooh Oooh Ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight We will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh White Sands, Come hold my lonely hand.
They never returned from Paradise
They went to their places in the sky
And the old ones still say when the snowflakes fly
If you'll listen close you'll hear him cry:
Oooooh Oooooh Oooh Ooooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Tonight, tonight We will be one
We'll walk in the land of the midnight sun
Oh White Sands, Come hold my lonely hand.

Roy Orbison Indian Wedding Comments
beautiful song
Takes me back my youthful days in the 60's
Beautiful side show and just love the song
I remember hearing this song when I was still young but like a lot of songs never knew that it was Roy Orbison singing it. I think my mother may have been a fan of his and had one of his albums as we weren't allowed to play the music other kids listened to. It's a haunting melody and really showcases his beautiful voice.
Op welke cd staat deze track ?
Geweldige plaat, dit nummers is geweldig.
First heard this when I was 8/9 years old it was a B side I was always told to listen to the B side of a record I fell in love with this song then and still love it now at 51 years old this kind of music will last
Used to listen to this as a little boy of around 8 or 9 yrs old ☺
This song shows that Roy Orbison had love for all people and all cultures much love Roy ur a true and loving person and U have been my favourite artist ever since I can remember! I love U Roy and wish I could of seen U in concert and got to meet U!
Geweldig nummer
I just discovered this song today.
Today is a great day
..... Excellent.
..... Excellent.
Love this song and first heard it in my Grans being played by my uncle who was a great fan of The Big O and my other Uncle was a great fan of Elvis my Uncles were two great men and not just Uncles but best friends and today down to them my two favourites are Roy and Elvis.
Beautiful song
Prachtig nummer over een verdreven volk.
priceless!
Got it in 1 Bill...thanks..........vangelis .
I cannot believe I have never heard of this song. Fantastic. Love the words and pictures. So glad Roy has celebrated the American Indians in song.
Hello Cheryl......it's heart warming...when people like you leave a beautiful comment .
makes it all worthwhile.....thanks........vangelis .
GEWELDIGE SONG
Hello Oud Rekem.......many thanks......vangelis .
Happy Anniversary My Darling Leotje 💘💘💘
Carol......I AGREE......lol...........vangelis .
This track has GOT to be one of the greatest ever made - Roy was also one of the most brilliant musicians of all time..I first heard this track - on the original "45" in 1964 - have never heard it since until found it by accident - Its still a brilliant track..tells a wonderful sad story..the Native Americans were - and are - a proud and courageous people - they lived a life that was governed by the Great Spirit and survived for hundreds if not thousands of years before the so called "civilised whites" arrived on the shores of America and brought nothing but sadness pain war disease and tragedy - they deserved so much better..thank you Vangelis for this track - the way its done is..magical - the way the pictures and song "mix" is something rarely seen these days!
"Wake up"? - I doubt they ever truly will..tv programmes about the C18th and C19TH distort the "times they're set in" - possibly for "excitement's sake" if nothing else..probably a lot of people swear by what they see and believe it..most of my teachers from the early/mid 1960's wouldnt be able to teach either probably simply because of the way lessons are done now are a million miles removed from the way we were taught then
My history teacher was from the late fifties..They got rid of him..Did not care for his way of teaching..He put a light in most of his students..The mind is an open book..So go to your library and get your education as he said there will be a time coming and you will never be taught the truth.. That was the end of his career at our school..My Mom back in the day was an avid reader. That is one thing she taught us...This is what she said "Now go and get the stink off and go and get a good book 2 read.. Her favorites were Charles Dickens and many great novelists..In English class, we got to keep our books.. So needless 2 say when I grew up and married I had a great job. In 1976 we opened a "Hobby Shop." A Train Shop mostly and then we branched out.. It was a lot for me 2 learn. I told my hubby lets bring Thomas The Train into our store as it was so new..He said get one thing..I did I got one of everything..That certainly did help our business as I let the kids play with it at our store Lake City Hobbies. A Mom and Pop store..Still going strong over the years..With the help of family and friends, Mom would walk by the store and toss in a book and would say "Read This.One." Mom is gone now..I learned so much from her. Signing off for now..
AWESOME ARTIST TOPS ROY...NO.1...
@paul138457 Killing the buffalo was an actual plan to deprive the indians of their food source and starve the tribes to death

Hello Luciano.....When it comes to Listening and appreciation of the voice ...as you say.nothing can touch the magic that Roy radiates....Pure Quality unequaled by any other singer.....vangelis .
I don't guess there is anything that Roy can't do well and usually just spectacularly and omg the range of his voice just sends chills up my spine. My first three vinyls were Roy Orbison and I treasure them to this day.
Hello Daniel...sorry for delay in responding.....Roy stands alone in this type of singing...other greats attracted a different type of following....who enjoy singing and dancing to their offerings..We listen to Roy and savour the voice and mainly orchestral and vocal backings . one word UNIQUE..thanks for comment.......vangelis .
I have a collection of 12 LPs, loaned them to a friend all 12 came back scratched, now unplayable.

Hello Pauline...love the song...love the man.....thanks.......vangelis .
Wastá (good in Sioux) song & video. I sure enjoyed it especially Roy's marvelous voice and fantastic job you did with slide show with excellent pictures. Poor Yellow Hand & White Sand lost. Not as popular as Falling Rock who got lost in the mountain snows, who they are still looking for because you see these signs in the mountains that say "Watch For Falling Rock" (old Indian joke.) Thank you so much for all the work you did posting this video.
Hello Mickey.....Comments like yours makes it so worthwhile..firstly finding the right song...trawling the net for decent pictures...then compiling it .
with transitions etc...can take several days..liked your joke...a joy to share this great man.....many thanks..........vangelis .
Your more than welcome, & I figured that you put a lot of work into that, You got talent for that kind of art & great tastes in music. No word for goodbye we say see you later! Ekay Doshdah!
You Got it.....Ekay Doshdah..........vangelis .

WoW,memories, my Dad would play this over and over and"It's Over"; everything Roy.
+Brent Gartside Jr hello Brent...i am pleased Roy imposed beautiful memories ..a voice like no other..a legend
thanks for comment........vangelis .
@vangelis879 thank you..
Brent Gartside Jr That's what makes Roy , Buddy and Elvis so hard to listen to anymore.
RIP. Dad
possibly the most beautiful song he ever recorded,it could have been a hit in its' own right,but was a b side here in Britain.Roy loved Britain,and the British loved him,he remained a big draw as a live performer here years after the hits dried up.He made a come back with the traveling wilbury's ,most of whom were Brits,such was the esteem he was held in in the u.k.Sadly his latter day success was curtailed by his premature demise,but at least he died on his way up again.R.I.P. Roy,your voice lives on ! ! !
Awesome !!
+william elliott hello william....thanks for comment...Roy sang so many great songs and commanded orchestral backing too so so many songs
a pleasure to listen to the voice and an added bonus..Perfection .......vangelis .
+Brent Gartside Jr thanks Brent...one word says it all........vangelis .
He would have done a lot more fantastic songs as he was surely coming back to the top Mystery girl and California blue being just 2 of the great songs he done just before he died.
wonderfull song
