Drums(Mono Version) - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

Written by：P. La Farge[00:00:00]

From the Indian reservation to the governmental school[00:00:05]

Well they're goin' to educate me to the white men's Golden Rule[00:00:15]

And I'm learning very quickly for I've learned to be ashamed[00:00:24]

And I come when they call Billy though I've got an Indian name[00:00:34]

And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear[00:00:43]

There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:00:54]

And when they think that they'd changed me cut my hair to meet their needs[00:01:03]

Will they think I'm white or Indian quarter blood or just half breed[00:01:13]

Let me tell you Mr teacher when you say you'll make me right[00:01:22]

In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white[00:01:32]

And there are drums[00:01:41]

Beyond the mountain[00:01:44]

Indian drums that you can't hear[00:01:47]

There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:01:52]

Well you thought that I knew nothing when you brought me here to school[00:02:01]

Just another empty Indian just America's first fool[00:02:11]

But now I can tell you stories that are burnt and dried and old[00:02:20]

But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold[00:02:30]

And there are drums[00:02:39]

Beyond the mountains Indian drums that you can't hear[00:02:42]

There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:02:49]

Long Pine and Sequoia Handsome Lake and Sitting Bull[00:02:59]

There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full[00:03:08]

Crazy Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul[00:03:18]

They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo[00:03:27]

And there are drums[00:03:37]

Beyond the mountains Indian drums that you can't hear[00:03:39]

There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:03:46]

Well you may teach me this land's hist'ry but we taught it to you first[00:03:56]

We broke your hearts and bent your journeys broken treaties left us cursed[00:04:05]

Even now you have to cheat us even though you take us tame[00:04:15]

In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame[00:04:24]

And there are drums[00:04:34]

Beyond the mountains Indian drums that you can't hear[00:04:36]

There are drums beyond the mountains and they're getting mighty near[00:04:43]
