father married a pure Cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of The Indians said I was white by law The white man always called me \"Indian Squaw\"
Chorus Half-breed, all I ever heard Half-breed, how I learned to hate word Half-breed, she's no good warned Both sides 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 at me her feather, she's a Cherokee\"
Chorus
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed I left them, tell me who's to blame My life since then has from man to man But I can't run away from what I am
