barbara cook, carol brice & russ thacker – yellow drum lyrics

Loading...

[dolly]
march down the valley
yellow drum, yellow drum
farewell my sally
yellow drum, yellow drum

victory boys, keep a+comin’
yellow drum, keep a+drummin’
march down the valley
to the river, yellow drum

swim ‘cross the river
yellow drum, yellow drum
soldier, don’t shiver
yellow drum, yellow drum

victory boys, keep a+comin’
yellow drum, keep a+drummin’
swim ‘cross the river
to the city, yellow drum

[dolly, catherine & collin]
conquer the city
yellow drum, yellow drum
show them no pity
yellow drum, yellow drum
victory boys, keep a+comin’
yellow drum, keep a+drummin’
show them no pity
in the city, yellow drum

brassbands’ll meet you
yellow drum, yellow drum
sweet girls’ll greet you
yellow drum, yellow drum

victory boys, keep a+comin’
yellow drum, keep a+drummin’
back ‘cross the river to the valley
yellow drum
back ‘cross the river to the valley
yellow drum
yellow drum
yellow drum!

[instrumental]

[dolly, catherine & collin]
victory boys, keep a+comin’
yellow drum, keep a+drummin’
back ‘cross the river to the valley
yellow drum
yellow drum
yellow drum
[dolly, spoken]
do you hear?

[catherine, spoken]
hear what?

[dolly, spoken]
grandaddy’s voice, singing away.

[collin, spoken]
where?

[dolly, spoken]
there in the indian grass.

[catherine, spoken]
it’s only the grass gone dry, sugar. and the wind makes it sound funny.

[dolly, spoken]
but catherine, the wind is him. the wind gathers and remembers voices. the same will happen to us when we’re dead — the wind will gather our voices and send them back, singing through the grass, same as his. a harp of voices, telling a story.
