歌词
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 red man deep inside
♪
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die
♪
But maybe someday, when they've learnt
The Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return
Will return, will return
