Half Breed
My father married a Cherokee. My mothers people were ashamed of me. The Indians said that I was white by law. Though white man always called me Indian squaw.
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 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 ashamed. Fifteen I left and 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. 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.
