[Intro: Spoken]
They took the whole Cherokee Nation
And put us on this reservation
[Cherokee Chorus]
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum
[Verse]
They took away our way of life
Our tomahawk and the huntin' knife
And the old teepee we all loved so
They're using now just for a show
They put our papoose in a crib
And took the buckskin from our rib
And they took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
[Chorus]
Hiya, hiya-ho
Hiya-hi, hiya-ho
Hiya, hiya, hiya-ho
[Cherokee Chorus]
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, woo
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, woo
[Verse 2]
Although they've changed our ways of old
They'll never change our heart and soul
And though I wear a white man's tie
I'll be a red man 'til I die
[Chorus]
Hiya, hiya-ho
Hiya-hi, hiya-ho
Hiya, hiya, hiya-ho
[Cherokee Chorus]
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, woo
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, woo
[Bridge]
All the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan
[Chorus]
Hiya, hiya-ho
Hiya-hi, hiya-ho
Hiya, hiya, hiya-ho
[Cherokee Chorus]
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, wuah-wuah
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, hum-hiya, yi yi
Hum-hiya, hum-hiya, woo
