Ballad Of Ira Hayes(Live at Newport Folk Festival Newport ) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

Ira Hayes[00:00:01]

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

He won't answer anymore[00:00:24]

Not the whiskey drinking Indian[00:00:27]

Nor the Marine that went to war[00:00:30]

Gather round me people there's a story I would tell[00:00:39]

About a brave young Indian we should remember well[00:00:44]

From the trave of the Pima Indian[00:00:49]

A proud and peaceful band[00:00:52]

Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land[00:00:54]

Down the ditches for a thousand years[00:00:59]

The water grew Ira's peoples' crops[00:01:02]

Till the white man stole the water rights[00:01:05]

And the sparklingg water stopped[00:01:07]

Now Ira's folks were hungry[00:01:10]

And their land grew crops of weeds but[00:01:12]

When war came Ira volunteered[00:01:15]

And forgot the white man's greed[00:01:18]

Call him drunken Ira Hayes[00:01:22]

He won't answer anymore[00:01:24]

Not the whiskey drinking Indian[00:01:27]

Nor the Marine that went to war[00:01:30]

There they battled up the bima Jima hill[00:01:37]

Two hundred and fifty men[00:01:40]

But only twenty-seven lived to fight[00:01:42]

Bback down again[00:01:45]

And when the fight was over[00:01:48]

And when Old Glory raised[00:01:50]

Among the men who held it high[00:01:53]

Was the Indian Ira Hayes[00:01:55]

Call him drunken Ira Hayes[00:01:59]

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

Not the whiskey drinking Indian[00:02:04]

Nor the Marine that went to war[00:02:07]

Ira returned a hero[00:02:12]

Celebrated through the land[00:02:15]

He was wined and speeched and honored[00:02:18]

Everybody shook his hand[00:02:21]

But he was just a Pima Indian[00:02:23]

No water no crops no chance[00:02:26]

At home nobody cared what Ira'd done[00:02:29]

And when did the Indians dance[00:02:31]

Then Ira started drinking hard[00:02:35]

Jail was often his home[00:02:38]

They'd let him raise the flag and lower it[00:02:41]

Like you'd throw a dog a bone[00:02:43]

He died drunk one morning[00:02:47]

Alone in the land he fought to save[00:02:49]

Two inches of water in a lonely ditch[00:02:52]

Was a grave for Ira Hayes[00:02:54]

Call him drunken Ira Hayes[00:02:58]

He won't answer anymore[00:03:00]

Not the whiskey drinking Indian[00:03:03]

Nor the Marine that went to war[00:03:05]

Yeah call him drunken Ira Hayes[00:03:09]

But his land is just as dry[00:03:13]

And his ghost is lying thirsty[00:03:15]

In the ditch where Ira died[00:03:18]
