Half Breed — Cher

My father married a pure cherokee My mother's people were ashamed of me The indians said i was white by law The white man always called me "indian squaw"

Chorus

Half-breed, that's all i ever heard Half-breed, how i learned to hate the word Half-breed, she's no good they warned Both sides were against me since the day i was born

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

We weren't accepted and i felt ashamed Nineteen i left them, tell me who's to blame My life since then has been from man to man But i can't run away from what i am

Chorus
