[Verse 1]
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"
[Chorus]
And half-breed, that's all I ever heard
And 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
[Verse 2]
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"
[Chorus]
Oh, half-breed, that's all I ever heard
And 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
Cher released Half-Breed (Live) on Tue Aug 26 2003.
