Testo Indian Reservation

They took the whole Cherokee NationPut us on this reservationTook away our ways of lifeThe tomahawk and the bow and knife.Took away our native tongueAnd taught their English to our youngAnd all the beads we made by handAre nowadays made in Japan.Cherokee people, Cherokee tribeSo proud to live, so proud to die.They took the whole Indian NationLocked us on this reservationThough I wear a shirt or tieI'm still part red man deep inside.Cherokee people, Cherokee tribeSo proud to live, so proud to die.But maybe someday when they've learnedCherokee Nation will returnWlil return, will return, will return, will return.
