Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian) Lyrics & Tabs by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)
guitar chords lyrics
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 tounge,
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 reservaion.
Though I wear a shirt and tie,
They took the whole Indian Nation,
Locked us on this reservaion.
Though I wear a shirt and tie,
I'm still part redman deep inside.
Cherokee people,
Cherokee tribe.
So proud to live,
So proud to die.
But maybe someday when they've learned,
The Cherokee Nation will return!
Will return
Will return
Will return!
