My Father Married A Pure Cherokee

My Mother's People Were Ashamed Of Me

The Indians Said I Was White By Law

The White Man Always Called Me

"Indian Squaw"



[Chorus:]

Half-breed, That's All I Ever Heard

Half-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



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"



[Chorus]



We Weren't Accepted And I Felt Ashamed

Nineteen I Left 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



[Chorus]
