| Lyrics: | My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I
was white by law
The white man always called me
"Indian
Squaw"
[Chorus:]
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to
hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me
Since the
day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you
don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a
Cherokee"
[Chorus]
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left
them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run
away from what I am
[Chorus] |
