Lyricist: Paul Revere & The Raiders
Lyrics:
They took the whole Cherokee Nation Put us on this reservation Took away our ways of life The tomahawk and the bow and 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 to live, so proud to die
They took the whole Indian Nation And locked us on this reservation Though I wear a shirt and tie I'm still a red man deep inside
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe So proud to live, so proud to die
But maybe someday when they've learnt Cherokee Nation will return, will return Will return, will return, will return
