John D. Loudermilk
the lament of the cherokee reservation indian
Select language to translate this lyric
They took the whole Cherokee Nation put us on this reservation
Took away our way of life tomahawk and the bow and the knife
Put our papoose in a crip took the buckskin from our ribs
They took away our native tongue and taught their English to our youngs
[ ac.guitar ]
Although they've changed our ways of old they'll never changed our hearts and souls
Though I wear a white man shirt and tie I'm still a red man deep inside
The old teepee we all love so they're using now for just a show
And all our beads we made by hand are nowadays made in Japan
