Ira Hayes (Ballad of Ira Hayes)
Ira Hayes, Ira Hayes
Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war
Gather round me people and the story I will tell About a brave young Indian you should remember well From the tribe of Pima Indian A proud and peaceful band Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land
Down the ditches for a thousand years That sparklin' water rushed 'Till the white man stole the water rights And the runnin' water hushed
Now Ira's folks were hungry And their farm grew crops of weeds But when war came he volunteered And forgot the white man's greed
Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war
Well they started up Iwo Jima hill, Two hundred and fifty men But only twenty-seven lived to walk back down again
And when that fight was over And Old Glory raised Among the men who held it high Was the Indian, Ira Hayes
Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war
Ira Hayes returned a hero Celebrated through this land He was wined and speeched and honored And everybody shis hand
But he was just a Pima Indian No water, no crops, no chance At home nobody cared what Ira'd done And when did the Indians dance
Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war
Then Ira started drinkin' hard Jail often was his home They'd let him raise the flag there and lower it as you'd throw a dog a bone!
He died drunk early one mornin' Alone in the land he fought to save Two inches of water in a lonely ditch Was a grave for Ira Hayes
Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war
Yes, call him drunken Ira Hayes But his lands they're still as dry And his ghost it's a lyin' thirsty In the ditch where Ira died
