Where can I download/buy the song "One Tin Soldier?" |
|
I heard a snippet of it on Springer's show and it sounded so GOOD-- I want to get my own copy. Anyone know how?
Thanks

16. Grew to hate it that, too... |
|
We actually sang it in my elementary school music class, as I recall... that and "Streets of Laredo" and "He's got the whole world in his hands."

20. C'mon you guys-- I'm not saying YOU have to like the song... |
|
I just thought you could give me some assistance.
Besides, it's the WORDS that are meaningful:
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend. Do it in the name of Heaven, You can justify it in the end...
If that doesn't fit those crazy religious zealots, I don't know what does!!
Thanks

Lyrics for: One Tin Soldier (The Legend of Billy Jack) Listen, children, to a story That was written long ago 'Bout a kingdom on a mountain And the valley folk below On the mountain was a treasure Buried deep beneath a stone And the valley people swore They'd have it for their very own
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after who... One tin soldier rides away
So, the people of the valley Sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure, Tons of gold for which they'd kill Came an answer from the kingdom, "With our brothers, we will share All the secrets of our mountain, All the riches buried there"
Now, the valley cried with anger, "Mount your horses, draw your sword!" And they killed the mountain people So, they won their just reward Now, they stood beside the treasure On the mountain dark and red Turn the stone and looks beneath it... "Peace on Earth" was all it said
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after who... One tin soldier rides away
Go ahead and hate your neighbor Go ahead and cheat a friend Do it in the name of Heaven You can justify it in the end There won't be any trumpets blowing Come the judgment day On the bloody morning after who... One tin soldier rides away

http://www.thecolefamily.com/onetinsoldier.htmDoesn't have a download but does have lyrics and the melody is playing on the site. I am one who likes the song. I always sing it when I get sad about the direction the country and the world is going in. I've been singing it alot since Dumbya took over.

9. If you can't find it on a "legit/legal" site, ie. iTunes... |
|
...(as it may be out of print), try MovieMusic.com for the soundtrack for "Billy Jack". Keep in mind the tune is NOT from the first "Billy Jack" (late 60's); rather, it's from the second film from the early 70's. (I think...)

CORUS: Am Bb F Go ahead and hate your neighbour, go ahead and cheat a friend Am Bb F Do it in the name of heaven, justify it in the end Am Bb F There won't be any trumpets blowin, come the judgement day Bb <rest> On the bloody morning after...... Bb F Bb One tin soldier rides away.
So the people of the valley sent a message up the hill Asking for the buried treasure tons of gold for which they'd kill Came an answer from the kingdom "With our brothers we wil share All the secrets of our mountain, all the riches buried there." CHORUS Now the valley cried with anger, mount your horses, draw your sword and they killed the mountain people so the won their just reward Now they stood beside the treasure on the mountain, dark and red turned the stone and looked beneath it, "Peace on Earth" was all it said.

18. "Go ahead and hate your neighbor" and "Do it in the name of Heaven, |
|
you can justify it in the end" really describes the RWers in my view. I've been singing it aloud for years now!
