Cherokee Boogie
Oh a cherokee chief as he dances along
He sings an indian boogie to a white man's song
Singin' he-ho-a-lena sayin' he-ho-a-lena
A singin' he-ho-a-lena oh-oh na-which-a-na-hey
Well he dances over here and he dances over there
He's dancin' with a squaw called Standin' Bear
Singin' he-ho-a-lena...
[ guitar ]
Well he dances on a rock and he dances on a hock
But he keeps on shakin' his ol' tomahawk
Singin' he-ho-a-lena...
He sings a little soft and he sings a little loud
And his tom-tom beatin' so big and proud
Singin' he-ho-a-lena...
[ guitar ]
Wel he's a Cherokee chief as you all might know
When he sings his boogie singing nuven-yo
Singin' he-ho-a-lena...
Baile Cherokee
Oh, un jefe cherokee mientras baila
Canta un boogie indio con una canción de hombre blanco
Cantando he-ho-a-lena diciendo he-ho-a-lena
Cantando he-ho-a-lena oh-oh na-which-a-na-hey
Baila por aquí y baila por allá
Baila con una mujer llamada Standin' Bear
Cantando he-ho-a-lena...
[ guitarra ]
Baila sobre una roca y baila sobre un tocón
Pero sigue agitando su viejo tomahawk
Cantando he-ho-a-lena...
Canta un poco suave y canta un poco fuerte
Y su tambor golpea tan grande y orgulloso
Cantando he-ho-a-lena...
[ guitarra ]
Es un jefe cherokee como todos ustedes saben
Cuando canta su boogie cantando nuven-yo
Cantando he-ho-a-lena...
