Lyrics
Oh, my little Cherokee maiden, yes, here I come!
Oh, swing out there Leon!Take it away, my man, take it away
One night when the moon was bright on the moonlit gladeThat is where I found my little Cherokee maidenThe memory of that night of love is lingering hereAnd I know I never will forget
My little Cherokee maiden, I love her soAnd though we’re far apartI know I’ll never be trading my love for herFor anybody else’s heart
Someday, I’ll make a trip back to that Cherokee stripAnd I’ll carry her away with meAnd straight as an arrow flies, we’ll ride to ParadiseMy sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
Oh, my little Cherokee maiden, here I come, yeah!
My little Cherokee maiden, I love her soAnd though we’re far apartI know I’ll never be trading my love for herFor anybody else’s heart
Someday I’ll make a trip back to that Cherokee stripAnd I’ll carry her away with meAnd straight as an arrow flies, we’ll ride to ParadiseMy sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
