Indian Reservation |
|
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 |
|
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 |
