len nightowl@islandnet.com Lyr/Tune Req: Cherokee Maiden (from Bob Wills) (3) Lyr Add: CHEROKEE MAIDEN (from Bob Wills) 10 Dec 96


Hi, bill! I can't help much with the melody, but here are
All the lyrics I can remember from Cherokee maiden.

CHEROKEE MAIDEN, Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys
(Typical Bob Wills Texas swing style)

My little Cherokee maiden, I love her so
And though we're far apart
I know I'll never be trading my lover for her
Or anybody else's heart.
Some day I'll take a trip back to that Cherokee Strip
And I'll carry her away with me and
Straight as an arrow flies, we'll find our paradise,
My sweet little chickadee
My little Cherokee maiden and me.

Note: I think Merle Haggard may have also recorded this.

Hope this helps
