Merle Haggard - Cherokee Maiden (1976) lyrics

One night when the moon was bright o'er a moonlight glade That is where I found my little Cherokee maid The me'mry of that night of love is lingering yet and I know I never will forget My little Cherokee maiden I love her so 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 the Cherokee strip And I'll carry her away with me And straight as an arrow flies we'll live to paradise My sweet little chickadee my little Cherokee maiden and me [ sax ] My little Cherokee maiden I love her so...
