|
One night when the moon was bright on the moonlit glade |
|
That is where |
|
I found my little |
|
Cherokee maid |
|
The memory of that night of love is lingering yet |
|
And I know |
|
I never will forget |
|
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 |
|
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 |
