Cherokee Maiden Lyrics

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid
Memories of our night of love still linger yet
And I know I never will forget

My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so
Even thought we're far apart
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her
For anybody else's heart
Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with me and
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid
Memories of our night of love still linger yet
And I know I never will forget

My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so
Even thought we're far apart
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her
For anybody else's heart
Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip
And I'll carry her away with me and
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me

That's What I Like About a Country Song

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain 
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid 
Memories of our night of love still linger yet 
And I know I never will forget

My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so 
Even thought we're far apart 
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her 
For anybody else's heart 
Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip 
And I'll carry her away with me and 
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise 
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me

One night when the moon was bright on a moonlit plain 
That is where I met my little Cherokee maid 
Memories of our night of love still linger yet 
And I know I never will forget

My little Cherokee maiden, I love you so 
Even thought we're far apart 
I know I'll never be tradin' my love for her 
For anybody else's heart 
Someday day I'll take a trip back to the Cherokee strip 
And I'll carry her away with me and 
Straight as the arrow flies we'll ride to paradise 
My sweet little chickadee, my little Cherokee maiden and me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
