Indian Reservation

They took the whole Indian nation Put us on this resevation Took away our way of life Tomahawk and the prairie-knife. Took away our native tongue Taught their English to our young And all the beads we made by hand Are nowadays made in Japan. Cherokee people Cherokee tribe So proud you lived So proud you'll die. They took the whole Indian nation Put us on this reservation Brick built houses by the score Won't need tepees anymore. Although they've changed our ways of old They'll never change our heart and soul And suddenly when the world has learned Cherokee Indian will return. Will return Will return Will return Will return Will return!
