Cherokee's Nay Shun now sung by Elizabeth Warren


Cherokee's Nay Shun
now sung by Elizabeth Warren to the tune of "Cherokee Nation"
as originally sung by Paul Revere and the Raiders:

I stole the soul of the Cherokee nation
To put on my Harvard application

Told a forked tongue "song and dance"
Stole an Injun's college chance
Took away an Indian's job
Told a tale, made Harvard sob
And "Pow Wow Chow" that was the rave
Came from my Walmart microwave
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
I took their name, it was a lie
I told the whole U.S. Nation

About my Hyatt reservation

Though I wear a skirt and hose
I still chew Redman tobacco
Cherokee people, Cherokee tribe
I took their name, it was a lie
But maybe someday I will learn
When Cherokees do me spurn, do me spurn, do me spurn


If you are unfamiliar with this 60s era song, Here it is performed on Youtube:
