Sha-Kon-O-Hey!

Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah eee
Listen to the sound of the Cherokee
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah aye
Eagles fly o'er Sha-Kon-O-Hey

Sacred bird of the Cherokee
Land of blue smoke calling me
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah aye
Sha-Kon-O-Hey Sha-Kon-O-Hey

There are spirit's in these hills
Home of the wind and the whippoorwills
Stories carried through the years
Warriors, chiefs, and the trail of tears

You see beauty when the blue smoke’s risin'
You can feel it when the eagle's flying
Every blossom and rock and brook
Lookin’ like a picture angels took
Sha-Kon-O-Hey (Sha-Kon-O-Hey)

Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah eee
Listen to the sound of the Cherokee
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah aye
Eagles fly o'er Sha-Kon-O-Hey, Sha-Kon-O-Hey

Every woman, man, and child
That walks these hills can testify
God walks with them when they go
Hoverin' near like a holy ghost

So believe in what I say
When I speak of Sha-Kon-O-Hey
Makes no difference where you roam
The land of blue smoke Is your home

Singin' ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah eee
Listen to the sound of the Cherokee
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah aye
Eagles fly o'er Sha-Kon-O-Hey

So keep your memory locked inside
Keep your dreams and hold them tight
Often think back on this day
Sha-Kon-O-Hey, Sha-Kon-O-Hey

Singin' ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah eee
Listen to the sound of the Cherokee
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah aye
Sha-Kon-O-Hey, Sha-Kon-O-Hey

Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ahh eee
Listen to the sound of the Cherokee
Ooh ah ooh ah ooh ah aye sha-Kon-O-Hey
