lyrics

Cherokee Rose

Beneath the willows where the wild river flows
Thru brambles and briars and Cherokee rose
To the bank on the Southside and the Golden shoals
I rendezvous with Mon Chéri where nobody knows

I only offered her diamonds or pearls
Naked and hungry in a wild wild world
On the Southside and the Golden shoals
I rendezvous with Mon Chéri where nobody knows

In a Place where nobody goes
In the sands where no feet know
Beneath the willows where the wild river flows
Thru the brambles and briars and Cherokee rose

She cried ‘I need to fly’ and she spread her wing
She stopped I time I heard only the birdies sing
I felt the grind wound the string
She pulled the wind and let the bell ring

Mama don’t approve, Papa don’t care
They think I’m sinning, about this love affair
It’s so hard to bear

Beyond the outskirts farther than the railroad track
Over the hillside we built our humble shack
We made our peace, we aint never coming back

j'adore mon doux bébé
Elle est précieuse et libre
Mi amore, Mon Cheri, Mon esprit

To the bank on the Southside and the Golden shoals
I rendezvous with Mon Chéri where nobody goes
