Cherokee Boogie Songtext
von Johnny Horton

Well, a Cherokee chief as he dances along
Sings an Indian boogie to a white man′s song

Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina" oh, oh no, it's in my head (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Well, he dances over here, and he dances over there
Now he′s dancing with a squal called standing bear

Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina" oh, oh no, it's in my head (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Well, he dances on the truck, and he dances on the rock
But he keeps on shaking his ol′ tomahawk


Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina" oh, oh no, it's in my head (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Well, he sings a little soft, and he sings a little loud
With his tom-tom beatin′ so big and proud

Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina" oh, oh no, it's in my head (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Well, he dances over here, and he dances over there
Now he′s dancing with a squal called standing bear

Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin,' "hey-ho-a-lina" oh, oh no, it's in my head (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)

Now, he′s a Cherokee chief as a you all might know
When he keeps on a singing, singing that upon yo


Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin', "Hey-ho-a-lina"
"Hey-ho-a-lina"
Singin′, "Hey-ho-a-lina" oh, oh no, it's in my head (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
