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