My father married a Cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of me The Indians said I was white by The man always called me \"Indian Squaw\"
Chorus Half-breed, that's all I ever heard Half-breed, how I learned to the word Half-breed, she's no good they warned Both were against me since the day I was born
never settled, went from town to town When you're not welcome you don't hang around The other children always laughed me \"Give her a she's a Cherokee\"
Chorus
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed Nineteen left them, tell me who's to blame My life since then has been from man to But I can't run away from what I am
