"Golden Arrow" is a popular song published both as an intermezzo two-step and a ballad in 1909.

The music was composed by Egbert Van Alstyne, with lyrics added by Harry Williams.

The ballad is a love story between the unnamed son of a Chief Arrow-Bow and a maiden named Golden Arrow, both of the Sioux nation in Idaho.

The lyrics as written by Williams:[1] Out in the shade of a glade sat a maid With burning cheeks all aglow Eyes black as night, but as bright as the light of any sunset in Idaho For by her side was the pride of a tribe, the son of Chief Arrow-Bow And in the ear of his dear, sweet and clear, he whispered low

She then replied "I'm your bride by your side We'll hunt the big buffalo I'll be your dear, never fear, ever near For I'm your Arrow and you're my 'beau' You lead the way where you may from today, for you must guide me, you know Then I can see we'll agree, come with me," said Arrow-Bow (Chorus)
