Cherokee Boogie Lyrics

E
Oh Cherokee c***f as he dances along

he sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song
Chorus
A
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)
E
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)
B E
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena Ola-nana which-a nai-ay"

E
Well he dances over here, and he dances over there.

And he dances with a squaw called "Standin' Bear"

(Chorus)

Guitar Solo
E
Well he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk

but he keeps on a shakin' his old tommyhawk

(Chorus)

E
Now he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud

and his tom-tom beats on full blue cloud. ß( Hank sings it this way)
(so big and proud) ß(actual lyrics)
(Chorus)
Fiddle Solo

E
He's a Cherokee c***f as you all might know

when he sings his boogie sayin' "Hey why-yo"
A
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)
E
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena)
B E
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena Oo-oo-nana which-a nai-ay-ay".
