My father married up your Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said that I was a white man of law
The white man always called me Indian Swine
And half-breed,
that's all I ever heard And half-breed,
how I learned to hate the world
Half-breed,
she's no good to war The force I bore
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 Gave her a feather,
she's a Cherokee
Half-breed,
that's all I ever heard And half-breed,
how I learned to hate the world
Half-breed,
she's no good to war The force I bore against me since the day
