Well a Cherokee chief as he dances along
He does an Indian boogie to a white man’s song
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina (hey-ho-a-lina) hey-ho-a-lina (hey-ho-a-lina)
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea
Well he dances over here and he dances over there
And he keeps on a dancin' everywhere
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina…
Well he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock
But he keeps on shakin' that tomohawk
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina…
Well he sings to the hills and he sings to the clouds
And he keeps on singin' so big and proud
A now hey-ho-a-lina…
Well he’s a Cherokee cheif as a you might know
And he keeps on sittin' singing nuven-yo
A now hey-ho-a-lina…
Well a Cherokee chief as he dances along
He does an Indian boogie to a white man’s song
Singin' hey-ho-a-lina…
saw these guys at WestFest a few years ago, All I can say is WOW. The energy coming from the stage was wonderful. They got the whole crowd up and dancing. They were not the headliner but should have been.
These are my grandmas cousin's! I remember growing up and seeing them all over little bars and what not. Such great memories. I remember them playing at the Oregon zoo and the whole family went to watch them play. But that was 20 years ago
BR 549 was the phone number for Junior's car lot on Hee Haw, that's where the name comes from, kind of a little tribute to that show in the video too. GREAT SONG!!!
