Oh oh ohh o-ohh
Mmhhh
They lived in peace
not long ago
a mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change
had made them realize
that the promises were lies oh
The white man's greed
in search of gold
made the nation bleed
They had lost their faith
and now they had to learn
there was no place to return
nowhere they could turn
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
They were driven hard
across the plains
and walked for many moons
'Cause the winds of change
had made them realize
that the promises were lies
So much to bear
and all that pain
left them in despair
They had lost their faith
and now they had to learn
there was no place to return
nowhere they could turn
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Ohhh
Yeah yeah
Oh oh ohh o-ohh
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Ohhh
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Cherokee
ohh
marching on the trail of tears
Ohhh
