Part 1:

Sweet In - dian maid - en,

Since first I met you,

I can't for - get you,

Cher - o - kee sweet heart.

Child of the prai - rie,

Your love keeps call - ing,

My heart en - thrall - ing,

Cher - o - kee.

 

Part 2:

Dreams of Sum - mer time,

Of lov - er time gone by,

Throng my mem - o - ry,

So ten - der - ly and sigh,

My sweet In - dian maid - en,

One day I'll hold you,

In my arms fold you,

Cher - o - kee.
