My father married a Cherokee |
|
My mother's people were ashamed of me |
|
The Indian's said that I was white by law |
|
The white man always called me Indian Squaw |
|
Half breed |
|
Is all I ever heard |
|
Half breed |
|
Let me 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 |
|
Half breed |

Half breed |
|
Is all I ever heard |
|
Let me hate the word |
|
Half breed |
|
She's no good they warned |
|
Both sides were against me since the day I was born |
|
We weren't accepted and I felt the shame |
|
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame |
|
My life since then has been from man to man |
|
But I can't run away from what I am |
|
Half breed |
|
Is all I ever heard |
|
Half breed |
|
Let me hate the word |
|
Half breed |
|
She's no good they warned |
|
Both sides were against me since the day I was born |
|

Let me hate the word |
