Shania Twain - Half Breed Lyrics






My father married a Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indian's said that I was white by law
The white man always called me Indian Squaw

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
Give her a feather she's a Cherokee

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We weren't accepted and I felt the shame
Fifteen I left and tell me whose to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

Half breed
Is all I ever heard
Half breed
Let me hate the word
Half breed
She's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

    Correction: Shania Twain is part Cree,part French-Canadian.

    C.... ....

    Shania is not Cree, she is Ojibwe. Her name means "Im on My way" in Ojibwe. She lived in TImmons, Ontario with her family. Her Mother was white and her father was Ojibwe Indian. She is not from Quebec. She grew up singing , and after her parents death, came back home to provide for her sister and brother who were minors. Her father was an alcoholic and was abusive to her Mother and Shania grew up in fear that he would kill her Mother , the violence was so bad. She had a very rough childhood and teenage years and her singing was something she did to please her Mother , who loved her voice. They lived in a tiny house, and often had their power turned off when her Dad was out of work, and she would be cold and hungry often times. Even though she was anxious and terrified to go on stage, she made herself do , because her Mother encouraged her and because it made her Mom so happy.
