They took the whole Cherokee Nation
|
And put us on this reservation
|
Took away our ways of life
|
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
|
|
They took away our native tongue
|
And taught their English to our young
|
And all the beads we made by hand
|
Are nowadays made in Japan
|
|
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
|
So proud to live, so proud to die
|
|
They took the whole Indian Nation
|
And locked us on this reservation
|
And though I wear a shirt and tie
|
Im still a red man deep inside
|
|
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
|
So proud to live, so proud to die
|
|
But maybe someday when they learn
|
Cherokee Nation will return
|
Will return
|
Will return
|
Will return
|
Will return
|
