Cherokee Boogie

Written by Chief William Redbird/Moon Mullican

	  		Intro B B E E 
 
E 
Oh Cherokee Chief as he dances along 
 
he sings an Indian boogie to a white man's song 
 
Chorus 
         A 
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena) 
         E 
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena) 
         B                                      E 
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena Ola-nana which-a nai-ay" 
 
E 
Well he dances over here, and he dances over there. 
 
And he dances with a squaw called "Standin' Bear" 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Guitar Solo 
 
E 
Well he dances in a trot and he dances in a walk 
 
but he keeps on a shakin' his old tommyhawk 
 
(Chorus) 
 
E 
Now he sings a little soft and he sings a little loud 
 
and his tom-tom beats on full blue cloud.  ß( Hank sings it this way) 
                     (so  big and  proud) ß(actual lyrics) 
(Chorus) 
 
Fiddle Solo 
 
E 
He's a Cherokee Chief as you all might know 
 
when he sings his boogie sayin' "Hey why-yo" 
         A 
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena) 
         E 
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena" (Hey Ho-alena) 
         B                                        E 
Singin' "Hey Ho-alena Oo-oo-nana which-a nai-ay-ay".
