Half Breed Songtext
von Blue Swede

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 boy

Half breed
That's all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He′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 him a feather, he′s a Cherokee


Half breed
That′s all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We weren′t accepted and I felt the shame
Nineteen, I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then has been from place to place
But I can't run away from my own fate

Half breed
That′s all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

Half breed
That′s all I ever heard
Half breed
How I learned to hate the word
Half breed
He's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
