Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)

They took the whole cherokee nation Put us on this reservation Took away our ways of life The tomahawk and the bowie knife Took away our native tongue And taught their english to our young And all the beads we made by hand Are now a days made in japan Cherokee people cherokee tribe So proud to live so proud to die They took the whole indian nation Locked us on this reservation Though i wear a shirt and tie I'm still part redman deep inside Cherokee people cherokee tribe So proud to live so proud to die But maybe someday when they've learned The cherokee nation will return Will return Will return Will return Will return
