Half Breed lyrics
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"

[Repeat 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

[Repeat chorus]
