Half-Breed - Cher
Written by:Mary Dean/Al Capps
My father married a pure cherokee
My mothers people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The white man always
Called me indian squaw
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
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 were'nt accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them tell me whos to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
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 wa's born
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
