Paul Revere & the Raiders
Paul Revere & the Raiders', "Indian Reservation"
Better Lyrics:
They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation...
We built casinos and big hotels,
And now we're doing very well
Cherokee people! Cherokee tribe!
So proud to live--so proud to die!
And when the white man's cash we've earned,
Cherokee Nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return....
Locked us on this reservation...
We built casinos and big hotels,
And now we're doing very well
Cherokee people! Cherokee tribe!
So proud to live--so proud to die!
And when the white man's cash we've earned,
Cherokee Nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return....
Original Lyrics:
They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
But though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still a red man deep inside
Cherokee people! Cherokee tribe!
So proud to live--so proud to die!
And maybe someday when we've learned
Cherokee nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return....
Locked us on this reservation
But though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still a red man deep inside
Cherokee people! Cherokee tribe!
So proud to live--so proud to die!
And maybe someday when we've learned
Cherokee nation will return
Will return
Will return
Will return....
