The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian

Lyrics

They took the whole Cherokee Nation put us on this reservation
 Took away our way of life tomahawk and the bow and the knife
 Put our papoose in a crip took the buckskin from our ribs
 They took away our native tongue and taught their English to our youngs
 [ ac.guitar ]
 Although they've changed our ways of old they'll never changed our hearts and souls
 Though I wear a white man shirt and tie I'm still a red man deep inside
 The old teepee we all love so they're using now for just a show
 And all our beads we made by hand are nowadays made in Japan
