The “Apache Danse” was a popular cafe act in the 1900-30’s in France which presented the dramatic and often volatile relationships between men and women of the rougher neighborhoods: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
This is the pella from an original piece scored and deftly played by Ross Lorraine (Old Dog).

Lyrics:

Apache dance
I can’t forget
A small dark girl
A cigarette
A puff of smoke
A glittering gun
And
Fat Americans on the run


Her eyes aflame
As lips sipped wine
The stars above could not outshine
I crossed the bridge
My heart to save
And threw my fears into the Seine

She left my life
That much is true
Another man out of the blue
Has cleared my slate
Now high and dry
I gaze into an empty sky

(note: the 1st verse of this song is adapted from an original old lyric, now public-domain N. Ruedi)
