Lyrics David Allan Coe – Cherokee Cry
Text:
Talk about indian rights and wrongs
Sing a few more freedom songs
Look to the spirit, ride the wind
Let’s not walk that trail of tears again
Digging up our sacred grounds
Won’t you leave the dead alone
Let the eagle fly and the buffalos roam
And give us back our home
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Right up front I want my freedom back
I know about Geronimo’s Cadillac
That’s how you got us on the reservation
Don’t talk to me about segregation
Digging up our sacred grounds
Won’t you leave the dead alone
Let the eagle fly and the buffalos roam
And give us back our home
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Cherokee cry
Set me free, yeah
Cry, oh, cherokee cry
Cry, oh, cherokee cry
Cry, oh, cherokee cry
Cry, oh, cherokee cry
