Half-breed

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 called me Indian-(?)

Half-breed, well that's all I've ever heard
Half-breed, and I love to hate that word
Half-breed, she's no good for you
Both sides been against me since the day I was born

We never settled and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame?
My life's a (?) man-to-man
Why can't I be who I am?

Half-breed, well I love to hate the word
Half-breed, well that's all I've ever heard
Half-breed, she's no good for you
Both sides been against me since the day I was born

Why can't I be who I am?

Half-breed, well I love to hate that word
Half-breed, well that's all I've ever heard
Half-breed, she's no good for you
Both sides been against me since the day I was born
Both sides been against me since the day I was born
Both sides been against me since the day I was born
