Well, A Cherokee chief as he dances along
|
Sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
|
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
Singing"hey-ho-a-lina ?ho-ho-na-witch-a-na-eh
|
|
Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
|
Now he’s dancing with a squaw called Standing Bear
|
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina-
|
"hey-ho-a-lina ?ho-ho-na-witch-a-na-
|
|
Well, he dances in the tribe and he dances enough
|
But he keeps on shaking his old tomohawk
|
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina ?ho-ho-na-witch-a-na-eh
|
|
Well, he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
|
With his tom-tom beating so big and proud
|
A now "Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina-ho-ho-na-witch-a-na-eh
|
|
Well, he dances over here and he dances over there
|
Now he’s dancing with a squaw named Standing Bear
|
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina-ho-ho-na-witch-na-eh
|
|
Well, he's a Cherokee cheif as ayou might know
|
And he keeps on sittin' singing "nuven-yo"
|
Now "Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
A well a "hey-ho-a-lina-ho-ho-na-witch- na-eh
|
|
Well, A Cherokee chief as he dances along
|
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song
|
Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
|
A well a "hey-ho-alina-ho-ho-na-witch-na-eh
|

There were enough errors that I posted all the lyrics rather than try to pick each one out.
