Cher
Half-Breed (Dean/Capps)
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said that I was white by law
The white man always called me "Indian Squaw"
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"
repeat
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

I have these lyrics. The correct title is "Half-Breed" (in german
"Halbblut").

"Half-Breed" - CHER
Music: Al Capps
Lyrics: Mary Dean

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me

The indians said that I was white by law
The white man alwas called me "Indian Squaw".

HALF-BREED, that's all I ever heard,
HALF-BREED, how I learned to hate the world,
HALF-BREED, she's no goot 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".

HALF-BREED, that's all I ever heard,
HALF-BREED, how I learned to hate the world,
HALF-BREED, she's no goot they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born.

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed

Ninetten 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 the world,
HALF-BREED, she's no goot they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born.
