Lyrics of 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
Let me 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
Let me 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
Is all i ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day i was born

Half breed
Is all i ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day i was born
