Cher Half-Breed

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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:]

[Verse 3:]
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:]
