Cher - Half-breed

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people where ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The withe man always called me "Indian Squaw"

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate that 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 twon to twon
When you're not welkom you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"give her a feather, she's a Cherokee" Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate that word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

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

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