《Ballad Of Ira Hayes》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh Call him drunken Ira Hayes

[00:00:04] You won't answer anymore

[00:00:06] Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian

[00:00:08] Nor the Marine that went to war

[00:00:16] Gather round me people

[00:00:18] There's a story I would tell

[00:00:20] About a brave young

[00:00:21] Indian you should remember well

[00:00:24] From the land of the Pima Indian

[00:00:27] A proud and noble band

[00:00:29] Who farmed

[00:00:30] The Phoenix valley in Arizona land

[00:00:33] Down the ditches for a thousand years

[00:00:36] The water grew Ira's peoples' crops

[00:00:38] 'Till the white man stole the water rights

[00:00:40] And the sparklin' water stopped

[00:00:43] Now Ira's folks were hungry

[00:00:45] And their land grew crops of weeds

[00:00:47] When war came Ira volunteered

[00:00:50] And forgot the white man's greed

[00:00:53] Call him drunken Ira Hayes

[00:00:55] He won't answer anymore

[00:00:58] Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian

[00:01:00] Nor the Marine that went to war

[00:01:07] There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill

[00:01:09] Two hundred and fifty men

[00:01:11] But only twenty-seven lived

[00:01:14] To walk back down again

[00:01:16] And when the fight was over

[00:01:18] And when Old Glory raised

[00:01:20] Among the men who held it high

[00:01:23] Was the Indian Ira Hayes

[00:01:26] Call him drunken Ira Hayes

[00:01:28] He won't answer anymore

[00:01:31] Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian

[00:01:33] Nor the Marine that went to war

[00:01:40] Ira returned a hero

[00:01:42] Celebrated through the land

[00:01:44] He was wined and speeched

[00:01:45] And honored; Everybody shook his hand

[00:01:49] But he was just a Pima Indian

[00:01:51] No water no crops no chance

[00:01:53] At home nobody cared what Ira'd done

[00:01:56] And when did the Indians dance

[00:02:20] Call him drunken Ira Hayes

[00:02:22] He won't answer anymore

[00:02:24] Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian

[00:02:27] Nor the Marine that went to war

[00:02:33] Yeah call him drunken Ira Hayes

[00:02:36] But his land is just as dry

[00:02:38] And his ghost is lyin' thirsty

[00:02:41] In the ditch where Ira died
