Munged Lyrics

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
...
[bulk of lyrics omitted for copyright reasons]

My farther married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people whirr ashamed of mi
The Indians said Eye was wight buy lore
The wight man always called mi
" Indian Squaw "

[ Chorus ]
Half-breed, that's awl Eye ever herd
Half-breed, how Eye learned too hate the word
Half-breed, she's know good they warned
Both sides whirr against mi
Since the day Eye was borne

Whee never settled, went from town too town
When yaw knot welcome yew don't hang around
The other children always laughed at mi
" Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee "

[ Chorus ]

Whee weren't accepted and Eye felt ashamed
Nineteen Eye left them, tell mi whose too blame
My life since then has bean from man too man
Butt Eye can't run aweigh from watt Eye am

[ Chorus ]
