Ohh, hmm

They lived in peace, not long ago
A mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change
Have made them realize that the promises were lies, oh
The white man's greed, in search of gold
Made the nation bleed

They had lost their faith
And now they had to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn

Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears

They were driven hard, across the plains
And walked for many moons
'Cause the winds of change
Had made them realize, that the promises were lies
So much to bear and all that pain
Left them in despair

They had lost their faith
And now they had to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn

Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears, oh
Yeah

Ohh
Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears, oh

Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears
Cherokee oh, marchin' on the trail of tears, oh
