Song lyrics Indian Reservation by Paul Revere And The Raiders

They took the whole Cherokee Nation
And put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife

They took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die

They took the whole Indian Nation
And locked us on this reservation
And though I wear a shirt and tie
Im still a red man deep inside

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
Taken from AlbumSongAndLyrics.com
But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee Nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return
Will return
