Sweet Indian maiden, since first he met you
He can't forget you, Cherokee sweetheart
Child of the prairie, your love keeps calling
His heart enthralling, Cherokee
Dreams of summertime, of lover time gone by
Fills his memory so tenderly inside
Sweet Indian maiden, one day he'll hold you
In his arms hold you, Cherokee
Dreams of summertime, of lover time gone by
Fills his memory so tenderly inside
Sweet Indian maiden, one day he's gonna hold you
In his arms hold you
Oh, Cherokee
