Indian
Reservation
[The
Lament
of the
Cherokee]
They
took the
whole
Cherokee
Nation
And put
us on
this
reservation
Took
away our
ways of
life
The
tomahawk
and the
bow and
knife
They
took
away our
native
tongue
And
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
And
locked
us on
this
reservation
And
though I
wear a
shirt
and tie
I’m
still a
red man
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
