Cherokee Waltz

Way out in old Oklahoma
In the land of the blue Cimarron
I found an Indian maiden
And I called her my Cherokee fawn
We loved, we courted each other
And we named our own wedding day
But the great white spirit up yonder
Took my Cherokee flower away

Sweet Cherokee maiden
I'll watch for you in the stars
Each night on the prairie
I'm alone with a strummin' guitar
Sweet tunes they are playin'
Reminds me of someone I lost
So I'll send a song to the heavens
And I'll call it my Cherokee waltz

Old Cimarron flowin'
Rollin' along to the sea
Though faithful forever
You can't bring my darlin' to me
Go send her my true love
Tell her 'twill never be false
I'll keep her memory forever
In the beautiful Cherokee waltz
