Half-Breed - Cher

My mother’s people were ashamed of me

The Indians said I was white by law

The white man always called me «Indian Squaw»

Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard

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

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»

Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard

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

We weren’t accepted and I felt ashamed

Nineteen I left them

Tell me, who’s to blame?

My life since then has been from man to man

But I can’t run away from what I am

Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard

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

Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard

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
