I like it    I don't like it

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
