Cherokee Maiden One night when the moon was bright on the moonlit bay. My little Cherokee Maiden, I loved her so. My little Cherokee Maiden, I love her so.
Merle Haggart
That is where I found my little Cherokee maid.
The memory of the that night of love, is lingering yet.
And I know I never will forget.
And though we're far apart.
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her,
For anybody else's heart.
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee Strip,
And I'll carry her away with me.
And straight as an arrow flies,
We'll ride to paradise,
My sweet little chickadee,
My little Cherokee Maiden and me.
And though we're far apart.
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her,
For anybody else's heart.
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee Strip,
And I'll carry her away with me.
And straight as an arrow flies,
We'll ride to paradise,
My sweet little chickadee,
My little Cherokee Maiden and me.
