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 world
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
Half-breed
How I learned
To hate the world
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
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
I am just
A half-breed
That's all
I ever heard
Half-breed
How I learned
To hate the world
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 world
Half-breed
She's no good
They warned
Both sides
Were against me
Since the day

Both sides
Were against me
