The Ballad of Ira Hayes - song lyrics

Ira Hayes
Ira Hayes

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Gather round me people there's a story I would tell
About a brave young Indian you should remember well
From the land of the Pima Indian, a proud and noble band
Who farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona land

Down the ditches of thousand years
The water grew Ira's peoples' crops
'Till the white man stole the water rights
And the sparklin' water stopped

Now Ira's folks were hungry
And their land grew crops of weeds
When war came, Ira volunteered
And forgot the white man's greed

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

There they battled up Iwo Jima's hill
Two hundred and fifty men
But only twenty-seven lived
To walk back down again

And when the fight was over
And Old Glory raised
Among the men who held it high
Was the Indian, Ira Hayes

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Ira,he is returned a hero
Celebrated through the land
He was wined and speeched and honored
Everybody shook his hand

But he was just a Pima Indian
No water, no home, no chance
At home nobody cared what Ira'd done
And when did the Indians dance

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Then Ira started drinkin' hard
Jail was often his home
They'd let him raise the flag and lower it
Like you'd throw a dog a bone

He died drunk early one mornin'
Alone in the land he fought to save
Two inches of water in a lonely ditch
Was a grave for Ira Hayes

Call him drunken Ira Hayes
He won't answer anymore
Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian
Nor the Marine that went to war

Yeah, call him drunken Ira Hayes
But his land is just as dry
And his ghost is lying thirsty
In the ditch where Ira died

Ten times out of ten, you know I'd do it all again Even though I know exactly how it's gonna end I've seen the world, I've done it all and I've lost a couple friends But that's life, that's life So fuck it, let's just go another night You know the grass is only greener in your mind This 42 won't drink itself and I don't need nobody else And that's life, that's life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life (that's life) Ten times out of ten, I swear there's nothing I would change What's the point pretending when we all go out the same? We light it up, we drink it down, we try to ease the pain And that's life, that's life So fuck it, let's just go another night You know the grass is only greener in your mind This 42 won't drink itself and I don't need nobody else And that's life, that's life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life That's la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life (that's life) La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la-la-life This 42 won't drink itself and I don't need nobody else And that's life, that's life Ten times out of ten, you know I'd do it all again Even though I know exactly how it's gonna end I've seen the world, I've done it all and I've lost a couple friends But that's life, that's life
