Cher - Half-Breed (Official Video) [From The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour]

LYRICS:
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said that I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to 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, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to 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 ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

My mum half bread she was a Beautiful woman, she passed away 6 months ago, I wish she was here this song reminds me of her ❤ miss you mum 💞

I've always loved this song. Some people might not realize that when this song came out in the early 70s, there were a LOT of TV shows about cowboys and Indians -- Westerns. The Big Valley, the Virginian, the High Chaparral, Gunsmoke, Bonanza and even Kung Fu were very popular Westerns of that time or shortly before. This song "Half-Breed" fit right in with those songs, yet had a topic of cultural significance as racism was such a big topic then (and now).

Cher with real long hair - clearly her best look!

[kathyhoward]

Half breed doesn't only apply to Indians. Lots of mix raced kids get bugged for being mixed race. It's sad. Really. I loved that song. It's too bad. Songs become offensive but ya just can't forget them.

[hyacinthlynch]

This song and 'Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves' are two of my favorite Cher songs.

What's interesting is that she was actually singing here. You can hear her jewelry rattling because it's so close to her mic.

Always will love Cher, now and for all time. I sat next to her in Atlantic City at Resorts right on the the side seating near stage. Beautiful woman then and still drop dead gorgeous. This is an album I still have and will always love this song. One of my all time favorites by Cher. Still listening to it in 2024. She is a diva for sure. Go Cher!

I remember seeing this when I was 13 and it fried my brain seeing Cher showing so much skin on TV!

[garyamador]

She was turned away by her family.
Now i understand her pain.

Horse: "So I'm just supposed to stand here with this singing lady on my back?"

[ConstanceCrimley-njyl]
