Johnny Horton

Cherokee Boogie

Well, A Cherokee chief as he dances along

Sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin' "hey-ho-a-lina" oh oh no it's in our heads

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there

Now he's dancing with a squal called standing bear

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

A well a "hey-ho-a-lina" oh oh no it's in our heads

Well, he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock

But he keeps on shaking that tomohawk

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin' "hey-ho-a-lina" oh oh no it's in our heads

Well, he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud

with his tom-tom beatin' so big and proud

Singin'"Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin'"Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

A well a "hey-ho-a-lina" oh oh no it's in our heads

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there

Now he's dancing with a squal called standing bear

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin' "Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

A well a "hey-ho-a-lina" oh oh no it's in our heads

Now, he's a Cherokee cheif as a you all might know

When he keeps on a singing nuven-yo

Singin'"Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

Singin'"Hey-ho-a-lina"

"Hey-ho-a-lina"

singin' "hey-ho-a-lina" oh oh no it's in our heads
