Cherokee Maiden Lyrics - Bob Wills

One night when the moon was bright on the moonlit glade 

That is where I found my little Cherokee maiden 

The memory of that night of love is lingering here 

And I know I never will forget 

My little Cherokee maiden, I love her so 

Even though we're far apart 

I know I'll never be trading my love for her 

For anybody else's heart 

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee strip 

And I'll carry her away with me 

And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to Paradise 

My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me 

My little Cherokee maiden, I love her so 

Even though we're far apart 

I know I'll never be trading my love for her 

For anybody else's heart
