Lyrics

Sweet Indian maiden, since first I met you
I can’t forget you, Cherokee sweetheart
Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling
My heart enthralling, Cherokee
Dreams of summertime, of lovertime gone by
Throng my memory so tenderly, and sigh
My sweet Indian maiden, one day I’ll hold you
In my arms fold you, Cherokee
