Dreams of summertime
Of lover-time gone by
Through my memory
So tenderly and sigh

My sweet Indian maiden
Since first I met you
I can't forget you
Cherokee sweetheart

Child of the prairie
Your love keeps calling
My heart enthralling
Cherokee

Dreams of summertime
Of lover-time gone by
Through my memory
So tenderly and sigh

My sweet Indian maiden
One day I'll hold you
In my arms fold you
Cherokee

Dreams of summertime
Of lover-time gone by
Through my memory
So tenderly and sigh

My sweet Indian maiden
One day I'll hold you
In my arms fold you
