Goodbye, my little Cherokee
Whisper you'll always think of me
Though our love is all in vain
In my heart you still remain
Goodbye, my little Cherokee

I met an Indian maiden
Many moons ago
And this miss gave me a kiss
Then called me her beau
I'd have a night she told me
Soon we'd say goodbye
Then one day she rode away
A teardrop in her eye

Goodbye, my little Cherokee
Whisper you'll always think of me
Though our love is all in vain
In my heart you still remain
Goodbye, my little Cherokee

Goodbye, my little Cherokee
Whisper you'll always think of me
Though our love is all in vain
In my heart you still remain
Goodbye, my little Cherokee

Goodbye, my little Cherokee
Kiss me and keep my memory
Darlin', when you're feelin' blue
Just remember I love you
Goodbye, my little Cherokee
