"Half Breed" lyrics

"Half Breed"

My father married a Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indian's said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learn 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 the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am

Half breed
That's 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

Half breed
That's 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

Half breed
That's all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
