Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee) (Rerecorded)

Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee) (Rerecorded) - Paul Revere/Mark Lindsay

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 tongue

And taught their English to our young

And all the things 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 reservation

Though I wear a shirt and tie

I'm still a Redman deep inside

Cherokee people Cherokee tribe

So proud to live so proud to die

But maybe someday when they learn

Cherokee nation will return will return will return will return will return
