Cherokee Maiden

(Cindy Walker)



One night when the moon was bright o'er a moonlight glade

That is where I found my little Cherokee maid

The me'mry of that night of love is lingering yet

And I know I never will forget.



My little Cherokee maiden I love her so and though we're far apart

I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her for anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to the Cherokee strip

And I'll carry her away with me

And straight as an arrow flies we'll live to paradise

My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me.
