Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

One night when the moon was bright on the moonlit bay
That is where I found my little Cherokee maid
The memory of the that night of love is lingering yet
And I know I never will forget

My little Cherokee Maiden, I love her so
And though we're far apart
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her
For anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee Strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee Maiden and me

My little Cherokee Maiden, I love her so
And though we're far apart
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her
For anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee Strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee Maiden and me

My little Cherokee Maiden, I love her so
And though we're far apart
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her
For anybody else's heart

Someday I'll make a trip back to that Cherokee Strip
And I'll carry her away with me
And straight as an arrow flies, we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee Maiden and me
