CHER - Half-breed lyrics

rate me

My father married a pure cherokee<br>My mother's people were ashamed of me<br>The indians said I was white by law<br>The white man always called me indian squaw<br><br>Chorus:<br>Half-breed, that's all I ever heard<br>Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word<br>Half-breed, she's no good they warned<br>Both sides were against me since the day I was born<br><br>We never settled, went from town to town<br>When you're not welcome you don't hang around<br>The other children always laughed at me<br>Give her a feather, she's a cherokee<br><br>Chorus<br><br>We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed<br>Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame<br>My life since then has been from man to man<br>But I can't run away from what I am<br><br>Chorus
