Cherokee Bluff by Lonesome Dave Fisher

They say if you go up to Cherokee Bluff
Where the path gets rocky and the woods get rough
You're gonna find out soon enough
You'll never come back from Cherokee Bluff.
Cherokee Bluff's just ten yards wide
In those limestone hollows they'd crouch and hide
With war paint on waiting for white eyes
A lot of brave men gone up and died.
Cherokee Bluff, Cherokee Bluff
Powerful medicine
Cherokee Bluff, Cherokee Bluff
You won't come back again.
They say if you go when the time is right
When there ain't no wind and no moon in sight
A man will come by, as dark as night
Take your fiddle and tune it right.
Tommy took his fiddle up around the bend
Even though his momma said it was a sin
He waited on the moon, he waited on the wind
Tommy ain't never been seen again.
Cherokee Bluff, Cherokee Bluff
Powerful medicine
Cherokee Bluff, Cherokee Bluff
You won't come back again.
They say if I go up to Cherokee Bluff
Where the path gets rocky and the woods get rough
Might think I'm brave, might think I'm tough
I ain't going back up to Cherokee Bluff
