My father married a Cherokee
My mother´s people were ashamed of me
The Indian´s said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me 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
Let me 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 the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose 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
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She´s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She´s no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
