Cherokee Gal

                                             Cherokee Gal

                                                         « Steve Dickson  »

      I met her on down at the county fair

 She had a red dress on and a feather in her hair

    So black and shiny like a raven’s wing

 My heart beatin’ so fast but I couldn’t do a thing

She smiled at me and she looked like the sun

 Lightin’ up the sky just as the daybreak has begun

     I took her by the hand, gave her a twirl

 As we danced all the night and I knew she was my girl

We ran with the wind, kissed under the moon

 Time flew by so fast, our youth fled way too doggone soon

      I’ll always recall what I told my pal

 I’m gonna go and marry that sweet  Cherokee gal
