Indian Reservation

They took the whole Cherokee nation

And put us on this reservation

They took away our way of life

The tomahawk and the bow and knife

They 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 you lived

So proud you died

They took the whole Indian nation

And put us on this reservation

Brick them housesby the score

Don't need teepes anymore.

Altough they've changed our ways of old

They'll never change our hearts and souls

And some day when the world has learned

Cherokee Indian will return

Will return will return

Will return will return
