Half-Breed (Live) [2025 Remaster]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Squaw" [Chorus] And half-breed, that's all I ever heard And half-breed, how I learned to hate the word Half-breed, "She's no good," they warned Both sides were against me since the day I was born [Verse 2] 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 her a feather, she's a Cherokee" [Chorus] Oh, half-breed, that's all I ever heard And half-breed, how I learned to hate the word Half-breed, "She's no good," they warned Both sides were against me since the day I was born
