#6 Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian) (Paul Revere & The Raiders) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan🪄
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die🪄
They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I’m still part redman deep inside🪄
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die🪄
But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return, will return
Will return, will return, will return

#48 Cecilia (Simon & Garfunkel) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place🪄
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing🪄
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing
