Cherokee's Burden

Take up the Cherokee's Burden
Let the headaches and torture begin
Watch all your land be taken away
At the change of a white man's whim

Take up the Cherokee's Burden
Travel miles and miles on end
Watch as your women and children starve
And remember how your life was beforehand

Take up the Cherokee's Burden
Fight legally with the nasty whites
Who promised you your land unconditionally
Then took it back and made you flight
