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
Locked us on this reservation

Though I wear a shirt and tie

I'm still part redman deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return
Will return, will return
