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[00:00:25]
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[00:00:44]
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[00:01:23]
In five hundred years of fighting not one Indian turned white[00:01:32]
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear[00:01:42]
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[00:02:02]
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[00:02:21]
But in the shadow of their telling walks the thunder proud and bold[00:02:30]
And there are drums[00:02:40]
Beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear[00:02:42]
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:02:50]
Long Pine and Sequoia[00:02:59]
Handsome lake and sitting bull[00:03:04]
There's Magnus Colorado with his sleeves so red and full[00:03:09]
Crazy[00:03:18]
Horse the legend those who bit off Custer's soul[00:03:21]
They are dead yet they are living with the great Geronimo[00:03:28]
And there are drums[00:03:37]
Beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear[00:03:40]
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:03:47]
Well you may teach me this land's history but we taught it to you first[00:03:56]
We broke your hearts and bent your journeys broken treaties left us cursed[00:04:06]
Even now you have to cheat us even though you think us tame[00:04:16]
In our losing we found proudness in your winning you found shame[00:04:25]
And there are drums beyond the mountain Indian drums that you can't hear[00:04:34]
There are drums beyond the mountain and they're getting mighty near[00:04:44]
