Half-Breed by Original Broadway Cast of The Cher Show Lyrics
[STAR]
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, 'She's no good' they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
[LADY]
I still remember how I felt ashamed
16, I hit the road to stake my claim
I'll make it big one day, I know I can
[STAR AND LADY]
But I can't run away from who I am
Half-breed
[STAR]
That's all I ever heard
[STAR AND LADY]
Half-breed
[LADY]
How I learned to hate the word
[STAR AND LADY]
Half-breed
[STAR]
'She's no good' they warned
[STAR AND LADY]
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, 'She's no good' they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
[LADY]
I still remember how I felt ashamed
16, I hit the road to stake my claim
I'll make it big one day, I know I can
[STAR AND LADY]
But I can't run away from who I am
Half-breed
[STAR]
That's all I ever heard
[STAR AND LADY]
Half-breed
[LADY]
How I learned to hate the word
[STAR AND LADY]
Half-breed
[STAR]
'She's no good' they warned
[STAR AND LADY]
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
