Lyrics
Cherokee Maiden
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One night when the moon
Was bright on the moonlit bay
That is where I found
My little Cherokee maid
The memory
Of the that night of love
Is lingering yet
And I know
I never will forget
Chorus (2x):
My little Cherokee Maiden
I love her so
And though we're far apart
I know I'll never be tradin'
My love for her
For anybody else's heart
Someday I'll make a trip
Back to that Cherokee Strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies
We'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee
My little Cherokee Maiden and me
