Lyrics
That s all i ever heard, went from town to town
My life since then has been from man to man, went from town to town Blue, we never settled
My life since then has been from man to man, both sides were against me since the day i was born
How i learned to hate the word, that s all i ever heard
my mother s people were ashamed of me
how i learned to hate the word
How i learned to hate the word, but i can t run away from what i am, that s all i ever heard
Give her a feather, my father married a pure cherokee Swede, we never settled
we weren t accepted and i felt ashamed
Went from town to town, we weren t accepted and i felt ashamed, the indians said that i was white by law
nineteen i left them
She s no good, my mother s people were ashamed of me
How i learned to hate the word, both sides were against me since the day i was born
the other children always laughed at me
nineteen i left them
Both sides were against me since the day i was born, that s all i ever heard Blue, both sides were against me since the day i was born
Nineteen i left them, she s a cherokee Swede, that s all i ever heard
my mother s people were ashamed of me
my life since then has been from man to man
She s no good, my life since then has been from man to man, how i learned to hate the word
We weren t accepted and i felt ashamed, that s all i ever heard
But i can t run away from what i am, give her a feather, that s all i ever heard
She s no good, nineteen i left them
We never settled, that s all i ever heard
went from town to town
That s all i ever heard, we weren t accepted and i felt ashamed
We weren t accepted and i felt ashamed, the other children always laughed at me Swede, when you re not welcome you don t hang around
When you re not welcome you don t hang around, my life since then has been from man to man
How i learned to hate the word, my life since then has been from man to man, both sides were against me since the day i was born
Tell me who s to blame, we never settled, she s no good
How i learned to hate the word, how i learned to hate the word
she s no good
