Half-Breed Songtext
von Cher

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 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, that′s all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to 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 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

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
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 word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
