Half Breed

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 boy
 Half breed
 That's all I ever heard
 Half breed
 How I learned to hate the word
 Half breed
 He'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 him a feather, he's a Cherokee
 Half breed
 That's all I ever heard
 Half breed
 How I learned to hate the word
 Half breed
 He'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
 Nineteen, I left and tell me whose to blame
 My life since then has been from place to place
 But I can't run away from my own fate
