My father married
A pure Cherokee
My mother's people
Were ashamed
Of me
The lndians said
That I was
White by law
The white man
Always called me,
'lndian squaw'
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
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
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
We weren't
Accepted and I
Felt ashamed
At 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
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
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...
