Cherokee Maiden

Asleep At The Wheel

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain 
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid 
Memories of our night of love still linger yet 
And I know I never will forget 

My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so 
Even thought we're far apart 
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her 
For anybody else's heart 
Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip 
And I'll carry her away with me and 
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise 
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me

I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her 
For anybody else's heart 
Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip 
And I'll carry her away with me and 
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise 
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me
