The Ballad of Ira Hayes (Remastered) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]

Gather round you people and a story I will tell[00:00:02]

About a brave young Indian you should remember well[00:00:09]

From the tribe of Pima Indians a proud and a peaceful band[00:00:16]

They farmed the Phoenix Valley in Arizona land[00:00:26]

Down their ditches for a thousand years the sparkling water rushed[00:00:34]

Till their white man stole their water rights and the running water hushed[00:00:43]

Now Ira's folks were hungry and their farms ween crops of weeds[00:00:51]

But when war came he volunteers and forgot the white man's greed[00:00:59]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:01:06]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:01:14]

Yes call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:01:19]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:01:26]

They started up Iwo Jima Hill 250 men[00:01:33]

But only 27 lived to walk back down that hill again[00:01:42]

And when the fight was over and the old glory raised[00:01:48]

One of the men who held it high was the Indian Ira Hayes[00:01:55]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:02:01]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:02:08]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:02:13]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:02:21]

Now Ira returned a hero celebrated throughout the land[00:02:28]

He was wined and speeched and honored everybody shook his hand[00:02:36]

But he was just a Pima Indian no money no crops no chance[00:02:42]

And at home nobody cared what Ira had done[00:02:50]

And the wind did the Indian's dance[00:02:53]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:02:58]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:03:05]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:03:11]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:03:17]

And Ira started drinking hard Jail was often his home[00:03:24]

They let him raise the flag there and lower it like you'd throw a dog a bone[00:03:31]

He died drunk early one morning alone in the land he had fought to save[00:03:38]

Two inches of water in a lonely ditch was the grave for Ira Hayes[00:03:48]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:03:54]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:04:01]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:04:06]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:04:13]

Yes call him Drunken Ira Hayes but his land is still as dry[00:04:20]

And his ghost is lying thirsty in the ditch where Ira died[00:04:28]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:04:40]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:04:47]

Call him Drunken Ira Hayes he won't answer anymore[00:04:52]

Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war[00:04:58]
