| One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain
|
| That is where I met my little Cherokee maid
|
| Memories of our night of love still linger yet
|
| And I know I never will forget
|
| My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so
|
| Even thought we’re far apart
|
| I know I’ll never be tradin' my love for her
|
| For anybody else’s heart
|
| Someday day I’ll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip
|
| And I’ll carry her away with me and
|
| Straight as the arrow flies we’ll ride to paradise
|
| My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
