Lyrics
They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and bowery knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads 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 on this reservation
And though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part redman deep inside
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud you lived
So proud you died
And maybe someday when they've learned
Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return
Will return, will return
