    "Indian Reservation" by Paul Revere and the Raiders


    They took the whole Cherokee nation
    Put us on this reservation
    Took away our ways of life
    The tomahawk and the bow and knife
    Took away our native tongue
    And taught their English to our young
    And all the beads we made by hand
    Are nowadays made in Japan

    Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
    So proud to live, so proud to die

    They took the whole Indian nation
    Locked us on this reservation
    Though I wear a shirt and tie
    I am still part redman deep inside

    Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
    So proud to live, so proud to die

    But maybe someday when they learn
    Cherokee nation will return, will return, will return, will return, will return

    You win; It was Paul Revere and the Raiders. Please, find something else to argue about, for example, how do you turn this cold a#* winter into something a bit warmer?

    Don Fardon had a "hit" with the song in the U.K. The hit in the U.S. was by Paul Revere and the Raiders. I believe Fardon's hit was in 1970 and The Raiders was in 1971. Maybe you are both right; that's how it should be, eh.
