They took the whole Cherokee nation
|
Put us on this reservation
|
Took away our ways of life
|
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
|
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
|
Locked us on this reservation
|
Though I wear a shirt and tie
|
I'm still part redman 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
|
|
