Brave Indian warrior,
Since first I met you
I can't forget you,
Cherokee sweetheart!

Child of the prairie,
Your love keeps calling,
My heart enthralling,
You Cherokee!

In the Summertime
Of lover time gone by,
>From my memory,
So tenderly inside!

My brave Indian warrior,
Obne day I'll hold you,
In my arms hold you,
My Cherokee!

In the Summertime
Of lover time gone by,
>From my memory,
So tenderly inside!

My brave Indian warrior,
Obne day I'll hold you,
In my arms I'll hold you,
My Cherokee!
