Oh, this is a story of John Cherokee
Alabama John Cherokee
The indian man from Miramashee
Alabama John Cherokee
Hey hey ho – ooh!
Alabama John Cherokee (X2)
Oh, they put a-board of a whaling ship
Alabama John Cherokee
Again and again they gave him the trip
Alabama John Cherokee
Hey hey ho-ooh!
Alabama John Cherokee (X2)
We’ll they catch him again and chained him tight
Alabama John Cherokee
Put him in the room without any light
Alabama John Cherokee
Hey hey ho-ooh!
Alabama John Cherokee (X2)
We’ll they gave him nothing for to eat or drink
Alabama John Cherokee
All of his bones they began to clink
Alabama John Cherokee
Hey hey ho-ooh!
Alabama John Cherokee (X2)
At the break of day he goes below
Alabama John Cherokee
That is when the cocks they do all crow
Alabama John Cherokee
Hey hey ho-ooh!
