My father mo rried

A pure Cherokee
My mother's people
Were ashamed of me
The Indians said that

I was white by law

The white man always
Called me Indian squow
HaIf-breed
Thafs all I ever heard
HoH-breed

How I learned
To hate the word
We never seHled

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 0 Cherokee yeah
HaIf-breed
Thafs all I ever heard
HoH-breed

How I learned
To hate the word
Half- breed

She's no good
They warned
We weren't accepted

And I felt ashamed

Nineteen I let 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
HaIf-breed
Thafs all I ever heard
HoH-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
HaIf-breed
Thafs all I ever heard
HoH-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
