I have heard Sarah Vaughan sing a version -- the only lyrics I rememeber are the 
start of the verse: "Brave Indian warrior..." and the end of the chorus where 
she says "My Cherokee-e-e".  The version of which I speak is on her Verve Jazz 
Masters cd.  I'll probably listen to it tonight, and if it's anything more than 
a love song I might post the interesting lines.
