Creedence Clearwater Revival -

Indian Reservation  

They took the whole Cheroke nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
Tomahawk and the bow and knife


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


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


They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I"m still part redman deep inside

* repeat

But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return
Will return, will return, will return, will return
