Half-breed

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
