Mel Tillis - Ten Thousand Drums

Mel Tillis - Ten Thousand Drums - 1962 album - Heart Over Mind ~ written by Mel Tillis & Carl Smith ~ LYRICS ::
-
Waitin' waitin' for the redcoats to come
But all I hear in my frozen ears is ten thousand drums
Ten thousand drums
Johnny Johnny don't be afraid
We can whip those redcoats settin' in the shade
Settin' in the shade

We've got the best of all the rest of Genereal Washington
And when we meet those redcoats watch those redcoats run
Throwin' down their drums throwin' down their drums

Listen listen Johnny better get your gun
Cause there ain't wooden soldiers behind ten thousand drums
Behind ten thousand drums
Runnin' runnin' Johnny watch them run
We finally whip those redcoats finally stop those drums
We stop ten thousand drums

We're the best of all the rest such Yankee son of a guns
Now we can tell our mammies how we made 'em run slowin' down thir drums
Slowin' down their drums slowin' down their drums
Ten thousand drums ten thousand drums
