Cher — Half-Breed lyrics

Lyrics

My father married a pure cherokee
My motherЂ™s people were ashamed of me The indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me indian squaw
Half-breed, thatЂ™s all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, sheЂ™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 youЂ™re not welcome you donЂ™t hang around
The other children always laughed at me Give her a feather, sheЂ™s a cherokee
We werenЂ™t accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me whoЂ™s to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I canЂ™t run away from what I am
