Paul Revere & The Raiders - Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian) lyrics

Artist: Paul Revere & The Raiders

album: Good Thing: The Best of Paul Revere & The Raiders


They took the whole Cherokee nation

Put us on this reservation

Took away our ways of life

The tomahawk and the bow and knife

Took away our native tongue

And taught their English to our young

And all the beads we made by hand

Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die

They took the whole Indian nation

Locked us on this reservation

Though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part red man deep inside

Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die

But maybe someday, when they've learnt

The Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return
Will return, will return
