My little Cherokee Maiden, I love her so. And tho 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 the 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.
