Half Breed
My father married a Cherokee.
My mothers people were ashamed of me.
The Indians said that I was white by law.
Though white man always called me Indian squaw.
Half breed.
Is 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.
Is 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.
Fifteen I left and 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.
Is 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.
