[00:00.00] | 作词 : LaFarge |
[00:02.75] | Gather round you people and a story i will tell |
[00:10.16] | About a brave young indian you should remember well |
[00:16.97] | From the tribe of pima indians, a proud and a peaceful band |
[00:26.81] | They farmed the phoenix valley in arizona land |
[00:34.34] | Down their ditches for a thousand years the sparkling water rushed |
[00:43.86] | Till their white man stole their water rights and the running water hushed |
[00:51.24] | Now ira's folks were hungry and their farms wene crops of weeds |
[01:00.01] | But when war came he volunteers and forgot, the white man's greed |
[01:06.93] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[01:14.11] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war |
[01:20.00] | Yes, call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[01:26.60] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war. |
[01:31.99] | |
[01:34.72] | They started up iwo jima hill, 250 men |
[01:42.03] | But only 27 lived to walk back down that hill again |
[01:48.20] | And when the fight was over and the old glory raised |
[01:55.72] | One of the men who held it high was the indian ira hayes |
[02:01.31] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[02:07.88] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war |
[02:13.89] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[02:21.50] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war. |
[02:26.19] | |
[02:28.93] | Now ira returned a hero, celebrated throughout the land |
[02:36.04] | He was wined and speeched and honored, everybody shook his hand |
[02:42.40] | But he was just a pima indian, no money crops, no chance |
[02:50.53] | And at home nobody cared what ira had done and the wind did the indian's |
[02:54.80] | Dance |
[02:58.11] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[03:05.48] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war |
[03:10.88] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[03:17.81] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war. |
[03:21.62] | |
[03:24.40] | And ira started drinking hard, jail was often his home |
[03:31.77] | They let him raise the flag there and lower it like you'd throw a dog a bone |
[03:38.04] | He died drunk early one morning, alone in the land he'd fought to save |
[03:48.08] | Two inches of water in a lonely ditch was the grave for ira hayes |
[03:55.68] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[04:01.20] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war |
[04:06.64] | Yes, call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[04:13.88] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war. |
[04:18.10] | |
[04:20.16] | Yes, call him, drunken ira hayes, but his land is still as dry |
[04:28.51] | And his ghost is lying thirsty in the ditch where ira died |
[04:40.20] | Call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[04:46.88] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war |
[04:52.20] | Yes, call him, drunken ira hayes, he won't answer anymore |
[04:58.56] | Not the whiskey-drinking indian or the marine who went to war. |
