One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain

That is where I met my little Cherokee maid

Memories of our night of love still linger yet

And I know I never will forget



CHORUS:

My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so

Even thought we're far apart

I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her

For anybody else's heart

Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip

And I'll carry her away with me and

Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise

My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me



(repeat all
