Cher: Half-Breed Meaning
Song Released: 1973
Half-Breed Lyrics
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me "Indian Squaw"
[Chorus]
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to...
-
On broadway the story is that her mom was blond and light and kids made fun of Cher because she was darker than her mom.
Her dad was Armenian and her mom American so they called her a half-breed. -
I just thought it was a song of the era and I guess I thought it was just telling a story of how weird we can be with diversity in our families and communities...clothing would be nice if more authentic...
