jp1 Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Has anyone else noticed, that when a man is so completely devoted to his wife, that they so often can't live without them? One more reason for never being too close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 when i was young my father played johnny cash records full blast on a cheap stereo when he got pissed. Dispite this i still like his music a lot. A loto of C&W singers dress up as cowboys and bung on the cowboy voice, JC however seemed very down to earth.

sayjann Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 the BBC have just showed a special on Johnny Cash. much old footage and stuff with Carlene Carter. they showed his last video ever made,late 2002. i think it was called 'Hurt' and i was horrified. he looked so old,how can someone age so much in a couple of years?.

Man at Work Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Says lazyphil: I liked the song about the Indian War Veteran, what was his namw? The Ballad of Ira Hayes Ira Hayes, Ira Hayes CHORUS: 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 for a 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 CHORUS: 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 when Old Glory raised Among the men who held it high Was the Indian, Ira Hayes CHORUS: Call him drunken Ira Hayes He won't answer anymore Not the whiskey drinkin' Indian Nor the Marine that went to war Ira 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 crops, no chance At home nobody cared what Ira'd done And when did the Indians dance CHORUS: 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 one mornin' Alone in the land he fought to save Two inches of water in a lonely ditch Was a grave for Ira Hayes CHORUS: 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 lyin' thirsty In the ditch where Ira died MaW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
