WRITERS MARY DEAN, AL CAPPS

My father married a Cherokee
|
My mother's people were ashamed of me
|
The Indian's said that I was white by law
|
The white man always called me Indian Squaw
|
|
Half breed
|
Is all I ever heard
|
Half breed
|
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
|
|
Half breed

Is all I ever heard
|
Half breed
|
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 weren't accepted and I felt the shame
|
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
|
My life since then has been from man to man
|
But I can't run away from what I am
|
|
Half breed

Is all I ever heard

Learned to hate the word

She's no good they warned
|
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
|

Is all I ever heard
|

Learned to hate the word
