His father was a man who could never understand, The shame on the red man's face. So they lived in the hills and they never came down, But to trade in the white man's place. Early in the spring when the snow had disappeared, They came down with a bag of skins. In the fall of the year of 1910, Daddy died by the rope down in Cherokee Bend. Daddy didn't like what the white man said, Bout the dirty little kid at his side. Daddy didn't like what the white man did, Nor the deal or the way that he lied. There was blood on the floor of the government store, When the men took his daddy away, But the boy stayed back till he'd come to his end, Then he run like the wind from Cherokee Bend. Now the mother was alone and the winter was at hand, And she prayed to her spirit kin. It was warm in the lodge in the Kentucky hills, On the day when the boy came in. Then a blizzard came down and it covered up the door, Till they thought that it never would end, And he told her the tale of the terrible affair, In the government store down in Cherokee Bend. Daddy didn't like what the white man said, Bout the dirty little kid at his side, Daddy didn't like what the white man did, Nor the deal or the way that he lied. For three long days and three long nights, They wept and they mourned and then, She returned to her work and her weavin', And they tried to forget about Cherokee Bend. Now the boy wasn't big but he hunted what he could, And they lived for a time that way, But the food run low and the meat went bad, And she said to the boy one day. "I'm leavin' tonight and I never will return, From the land of my spirit kin, You must take what you need and trade what you can, For a red man's grave down in Cherokee Bend". It wasn't very long till she closed her eyes, And he wrapped her in a robe,
