    Ah, ah, ah, oh-oh
    Ooh

    They lived in peace, not long ago
    A mighty Indian tribe
    But the winds of change
    Have made them realize
    That the promises were lies, oh
    The white man's greed
    In search of gold
    Made the nation bleed

    They have lost their faith
    And now they had to learn
    There was no place to return
    Nowhere they could turn

    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears
    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears

    They were driven hard
    Across the plains
    And walked for many moons
    'Cause the winds of change
    Had made them realize
    That the promises were lies
    So much to bear
    And all that pain
    Left them in despair

    They have lost their faith
    And now they had to learn
    There was no place to return
    Nowhere they could turn

    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears
    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears, oh-oh

    Yeah-yeah

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears
    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears, oh-oh

    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears
    Cherokee, oh
    Marching on the trail of tears, oh-oh Writer/s: Joey Tempest
