Your Squaw Is on the Warpath is twelfth studio album by American country music singer-songwriter Loretta Lynn. It was released on February 24, 1969, by Decca Records.
The album includes cover versions of hit country songs, including "Harper Valley PTA" by Jeannie C. Riley and "Kaw-Liga" by Hank Williams, and the 1968 hit "I Walk Alone" by Marty Robbins.
The song "Barney" was on the original 1969 pressings of the album. The Salem cigarette company filed a claim that the music was a violation of their copyrighted theme for their commercials. As a result, the original LP was recalled and then re-released without this song on it.
The album was given a positive review by Allmusic, which gave the album 4 out of 5 stars and called the album cover "one of the classic politically incorrect album covers." The album cover shows Lynn dressed in Native American clothing, out in the wilderness with her left hand over her head as if she is searching for something.
The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and No. 168 on the Billboard 200, becoming Lynn's third album to chart on the Billboard 200. Two singles were released from the album, the lead single, "You've Just Stepped In (From Stepping Out on Me)" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The second single, "Your Squaw Is on the Warpath" peaked at No. 3.
Recording sessions for the album took place at Bradley's Barn, Mount Juliet, TN, beginning on May 9, 1968. Three additional sessions followed on August 30, November 18 and November 19, 1968. "Living My Lifetime for You" was recorded during the Janaury 9, 1968 session for 1968's Fist City. "(This Bottle's) Taking the Place of My Man" was recorded during the April 20, 1967 session for Lynn's 1967 album, Singin' with Feelin'.
