OH, CHEROKEE CHIEF AS HE DANCES ALONG,
HE SINGS AN INDIAN BOOGIE
TO A WHITE MAN`S SONG,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA,
OH NO NA-WICH-EE-NA-EH`.

WELL, HE DANCES OVER HERE
AND HE DANCES OVER THERE,
AND HE`S DANCIN` WITH A SQUAW CALLED STANDIN` BEAR,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA,
OH NO NA-WICH-EE-NA-EH`.

WELL, HE DANCES IN A TROT
AND HE DANCES IN A WALK,
BUT HE KEEPS ON SHAKIN` HIS OLD TOMMYHAWK,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA,
OH NO NA-WICH-EE-NA-EH`.

NOW, HE SINGS A LITTLE SOFT
AND HE SINGS A LITTLE LOUD,
AND HIS TOM-TOM BEATS,
`OH, CHIEF BLUE CLOUD`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA,
OH NO NA-WICH-EE-NA-EH`.

HE`S A CHEROKEE CHIEF AS YOU ALL MIGHT KNOW,
WHEN HE SINGS HIS BOOGIE,
SAYIN`, `NA-WAN-YO`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA`,
SAYIN`, `EH-OH-ALEENA,
OH NO NA-WICH-EE-NA-EH`.
