R.C.K - Chickasaw Lyrics

Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah
I stand with Oklahoma under my feet
Land of the brave and home of the free
But by The Land Treaty of 1818
You see freedom ain't free and their land taken cheap
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Beat down, cheated but still standing tall
Along with the Choctaw and the Seminole
Hey, Hey, Hey
Chickasaw
1837 Western Tennessee
Three-thousand-one cross the mighty Mississippi
Down The Trail Of Tears went the Southeast tribes
The young, sick and the old among the thousands that died

Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Beat down, cheated but still standing tall
Along with the Choctaw and the Seminole
Hey, Hey, Hey
Chickasaw
Come the Civil War 1861
Confederate troops on the ground with their guns
Abandoned by the Union at Fort Washita
Fight your brothers or die was their choice of two evils
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Beat down, cheated but still standing tall
Along with the Choctaw and the Seminole
Hey, Hey, Hey
Chickasaw
