Raiders - I Had A Dream

I Had A Dream
Raiders

Indian Reservation
Artists: Paul Revere and the Raiders (peak Billboard position
Words and Music by John D. Loudermilk


They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
Took away our native tongue
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
And taught their English to our young
Are nowadays made in Japan
And all the beads we made by hand

Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die
Locked us on this reservation
They took the whole Indian nation


Though I wear a shirt and tie
I'm still part redman deep inside
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
So proud to live, so proud to die


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