[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me 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]
[Verse 3]
We weren't accepted and I felt the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
[Chorus][x2]
