PAUL REVERE & THE RAIDERS
Cherokee Nation Lyrics
They took the whole Cherokee nation
put us on this reservation
took away our way of life
Tomahawk and bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
taught their engish to our young
and all the beards we made by hand
are nowadays made in japan
cherokee people
cherokee tribe
so proud you lived
so proud you died
they took the whole indian nation
locked us up on the reservation
though I wear a shirt and tie
i'm still a red man deep inside
cherokee people
cherokee tribe
so proud you lived
so proud you died
but when someday they've learned
the cherokee nation will return
will return
will return
will return
will return
