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"

{Refrain} 
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" 
 
 
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
