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 glade
That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden
The memory of that night of love is lingering here
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 trading my love for her
For anybody else's heart
Someday, I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to Paradise
My 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 so
And though we're far apart
I know I'll never be trading my love for her
For anybody else's heart
Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to Paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
