HALF-BREED
Mary Deand and Al Capps

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The White Man always called me Indian Squaw

CHORUS:
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

Repeat Chorus

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 it can't run away from what I am

Repeat chorus
