D Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters G Bm Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee D Bm Then came those pioneer settlers that drove those Indians westward D G Bm Far from their home down on Yellow Creek D Now it's many years later and I'm living in the nature G Bm Of this Indian paradise called Tennessee D Bm Where I find those broken arrows that flew like the sparrows D G Bm The sparrows that still fly down on Yellow Creek
G D Oh those Yellow Creek waters bathed the sons and daughters G Bm Of an Indian nation called the Cherokee G D Bm Through the blood-stained years they walk the Trail of Tears D G Bm Crying for their home down on Yellow Creek
