| Lay lived in peace |
| Not long ago |
| A mighty Indian tribe |
| But the winds of change |
| Had made them realize |
| That the promises were lies, ohh |
| The white man’s greed |
| In search of gold |
| Made the nation bleed |
| They had lost their faith |
| And now they had to learn |
| There was no place to return |
| Nowhere they could turn |
| Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' 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 |
| An' 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, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Ohh |
| Yea yea yaa |
| Aaa, haa, haa, haa haa |
| Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Ohh, Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Cherokee |
| Oh, marchin' on the trail of tears |
| Ohh |
