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 called me Indian-(?)



Half-breed, well that's all I've ever heard

Half-breed, and I love to hate that word

Half-breed, she's no good for you

Both sides been against me since the day I was born



We never settled and I felt ashamed

Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame?

My life's a (?) man-to-man

Why can't I be who I am?



Half-breed, well I love to hate the word

Half-breed, well that's all I've ever heard

Half-breed, she's no good for you

Both sides been against me since the day I was born



Why can't I be who I am?



Half-breed, well I love to hate that word

Half-breed, well that's all I've ever heard

Half-breed, she's no good for you

Both sides been against me since the day I was born

Both sides been against me since the day I was born

Both sides been against me since the day I was born
