Cherokee Maiden Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid
Memories of our night of love still linger yet
And I know I never will forget


My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so
Even thought we′re far apart
I know I'll never be tradin′ my love for her
For anybody else's heart
Someday I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip
And I′ll carry her away with me and
Straight as the arrow flies we′ll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid
Memories of our night of love still linger yet
And I know I never will forget


My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so
Even thought we're far apart
I know I′ll never be tradin' my love for her
For anybody else′s heart
Someday I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip
And I′ll carry her away with me and
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
