Letra de Half-breed 1973 - half breed

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother´s people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me
"Indian Squaw"

(Chorus:)
Half-breed, that´s all I ever heard
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

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)

We weren´t accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who´s to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can´t run away from what I am

(Chorus)
