Half Breed
My father married a Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indian's said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw
Half breed
Is 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
Half breed
Is 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 weren't accepted and I felt the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then's been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
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
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
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
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indian's said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw
Half breed
Is 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
Half breed
Is 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 weren't accepted and I felt the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then's been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
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
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
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
