Ira HayesIra Hayes[CHORUS:]Call him drunken Ira HayesHe won't answer anymoreNot the whiskey drinkin' IndianNor the Marine that went to warGather round me people there's a story I would tellAbout a brave young Indian you should remember wellFrom the land of the Pima IndianA proud and noble bandWho farmed the Phoenix valley in Arizona landDown the ditches for a thousand yearsThe water grew Ira's peoples' crops'Till the white man stole the water rightsAnd the sparklin' water stoppedNow Ira's folks were hungryAnd their land grew crops of weedsWhen war came, Ira volunteeredAnd forgot the white man's greed[CHORUS:]Call him drunken Ira HayesHe won't answer anymoreNot the whiskey drinkin' IndianNor the Marine that went to warThere they battled up Iwo Jima's hill,Two hundred and fifty menBut only twenty-seven lived to walk back down againAnd when the fight was overAnd when Old Glory raisedAmong the men who held it highWas the Indian, Ira Hayes[CHORUS:]Call him drunken Ira HayesHe won't answer anymoreNot the whiskey drinkin' IndianNor the Marine that went to warIra returned a heroCelebrated through the landHe was wined and speeched and honored; Everybody shook his handBut he was just a Pima IndianNo water, no crops, no chanceAt home nobody cared what Ira'd doneAnd when did the Indians dance[CHORUS:]Call him drunken Ira HayesHe won't answer anymoreNot the whiskey drinkin' IndianNor the Marine that went to warThen Ira started drinkin' hard;Jail was often his homeThey'd let him raise the flag and lower itlike you'd throw a dog a bone!He died drunk one mornin'Alone in the land he fought to saveTwo inches of water in a lonely ditchWas a grave for Ira Hayes[CHORUS:]Call him drunken Ira HayesHe won't answer anymoreNot the whiskey drinkin' IndianNor the Marine that went to warYeah, call him drunken Ira HayesBut his land is just as dryAnd his ghost is lyin' thirstyIn the ditch where Ira died
