The Ballad of Ira Hayes

Gather round you people and a story I will tell
About a brave young indian you should remember well
From the tribe of pima indians a proud and a peaceful band
They farmed the phoenix valley in arizona land
Down their ditches for a thousand years the sparkling water rushed
Till their white man stole their water rights and the running water hushed
Now Ira's folks were hungry and their farms wene crops of weeds
But when war came he volunteers and forgot the white man's greed
Call him drunken ira hayes he won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war
Yes call him drunken ira hayes he won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war
They started up iwo jima hill 250 men
But only 27 lived to walk back down that hill again
And the old glory raised
One of the men who held it high was the indian ira hayes
Call him drunken ira hayes he won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war
Call him drunken ira hayes he won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war
