Paul Revere & The Raiders Cherokee Nation Lyrics

They took the whole Cherokee nation

put us on this reservation

took away our way of life

Tomahawk and bow and 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 died

they took the whole Indian nation

locked us up on the reservation
though I wear a shirt and tie I'm still a red man deep inside

Cherokee people

Cherokee tribe

so proud you lived

so proud you died

but when someday they've learned

the Cherokee nation will return
will return
will return
will return
will return

the end of the song..it was sung in 1965 as far as I can tell... Mr. Richard T.Hecht Sr.
