The song Cherokee Maiden is performed by Merle Haggard in the album named 40 Greatest Hits in the year 2004 .
One night when the moon was bright on the moonlit glade
That is where I found my little Cherokee maid
The memory of 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
