Lyrics
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian boy
Half breed
That's all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He'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 him a feather, he's a Cherokee
Half breed
That's all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We weren't accepted and I felt the shame
Nineteen, I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then has been from place to place
But I can't run away from my own fate
Half breed
That's all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
Half breed
That's all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
