Paroles de Half-breed

My father married a pure cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said that i was white by law
The white man always called me "indian squaw"

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.

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
That's all i ever heard
. . .

We weren't accepted and i felt ashamed
Nineteen 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 what i am.

Half-breed
That's all i ever heard
. . .
