Half Breed Lyrics
Cher
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indian's said I was white by law
The white men always called me "indian squaw"
Chorus:
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 side 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"
[Chorus]
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Fifteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from who I am
[Chorus]
