Cherokee Boogie

Johnny Horton


Well, A Cherokee chief as he dances along 
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song 
Singin' Hey-ho-a-lina 
Hey-ho-a-lina 
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea 

Well, he dances over here and he dances over there 
And he keeps on a dancin' everywhere 
Singin' Hey-ho-a-lina 
Hey-ho-a-lina 
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea 

Well, he dances on the hill and he dances on the rock 
But he keeps on shaking that tomohawk 
Singin' Hey-ho-a-lina 
Hey-ho-a-lina 
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea 

Well, he sings to the hills and he sings to the clouds 
And he keeps on singin' so big and proud 
A now Hey-ho-a-lina 
Hey-ho-a-lina 
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea 

Well, he's a Cherokee cheif as a you might know 
And he keeps on sittin' singing nuven-yo 
Now Hey-ho-a-lina 
Hey-ho-a-lina 
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea 

Well, A Cherokee chief as he dances along 
He does an Indian boogie to a white man's song 
Singin' Hey-ho-a-lina 
Hey-ho-a-lina 
A well a hey-ho-a-lina wup-wup a-wittena-yea
