Johnny Cash - The Ballad of Ira Hayes

The Ballad of Ira Hayes by Johnny Cash Song Info

"The Ballad of Ira Hayes" was written by folk singer Peter La Farge. It tells the story of Ira Hayes, one of the five Marines and one Navy Corpsman who raised the flag on Mount Suribachi during the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II. The song has been recorded many times; the most popular version is by Johnny Cash. Patrick Sky covered it on his self-titled 1965 debut album (and later for a 1985 album). Bob Dylan followed suit by covering the song during his sessions for Self Portrait, though his version did not see release until Columbia used it as part of the Dylan album of 1973. Townes Van Zandt also covered this song during a rare television appearance.

- STOP

don't by it. It is censored garbage.

- Missing 10 tracks?!

The description says there are 36 tracks on this dual cd album, but 10 of them are missing!! Any ideas on how to get all the tracks??

- why?

this should not be cencored i am a proud reletion of johnny and that guy could sing so let him be him for goodness sake

- Where is it?

I was wondering why "I won't back Down" isn't on any of the albums?

- Unbelievable !!!

You censor John Cash’s music? With so many other songs in iTunes library that drop the F bomb every other word and you censor Johnny Cash. Unbelievable !!!

- Censored ?

Can you people read ? It says live version and from what I remember it was bleeped on that album too. Who needs to hear it anyway. Everybody already knows what he says when bleep. Do you really need to hear it?

- Searching

If anyone has been able to find Johnny Cash uncensored anywhere on iTunes, I would very much obliged.

- Discovery of Censorship after purchase.

iTunes, you owe me a pure, straight complete recording of this album. I thought I was buying the real deal and you "baited-and-switched" me. I am not happy.

- Great Album

It's a great album with his best songs. Why is everyone crying about a few words that aren't there? It's about his music and the passion he put into it. I agree with Charliebos1234, no reason to dislike it cause one swear word isn't there.

- It's Johnny Cash

What more is there to say......

- wish my grandma was here to hear this

my grandma loved country music, and of course, Johnny Cash was her favorite. she passed away a while ago and they had a movie on tv about him called "Walk the Line". I wish she was here to listen to this

- Censored!!!

Please Read!!! This is a censored Album. DO NOT FALL VICTIM like I did. This is BS. ALL artist and there music should be left as is. If you want censored music you should go to church.

- Johnny Cash

I LOVE ALL OF HIS SONGS!! JOHNNY UNG THEM WITH A LOT OF EMOTION. IT TORE MY HEART FINDING OUT THAT HAD PASSED AWAY! ;(

- Censorship

itunes did not censor this album. We own this on cd and it is also censored, thats the way it was recorded from when they were more careful about what people said. It is still a good album though, Johnny Cash is one of my favorite artists.

- Upset

You can't call an album (live) when you censor peices of the song and if your smart enough to know what your buying you'll know there's cussing in the song in the 1st places it's not on the radio so leave it alone censored version= stupid!

- Great album by Johnny Cash

Highwayman is my favorite.

- These songs are prolific,

Now that one can hear these songs in terms of how he died and lived his life. Its just makes them oh so much more special.

- Y'all have problems.

I was looking thru th comments. I couldn't help but notice. That people were upset about some censorship. Now I just wanna say that I think you all are horribly mistakin. Because johhny ment everything he sang about. And what said in the uncensored songs is the same as these .I personally love them all now. I think you should acctually listen to the words and stop crying over some bad words being taken out...!!!

- The way Mr. Cash would

Yes this album is censored but as Johnny Cash got older he did not use curse words and would not sing the expletives anymore. So if you need that in the songs don't buy the album but this is the way he would be singing them if he were still with us.

- Great album... boo censors...

I purchased "A Boy Named Sue" to add to a video I'm making and I didn't realize it was a censored version of the song. Completely worthless purchase. Is S.O.B. really all that bad? Maybe it is. iTunes should mark this album as Explicit as there's no way to know that this album has been censored.

- The best singer ever!

He is the best singer ever!

- A Boy Named Sue

Good song, but the censorship really messes it up.

- Glad to Have Reviews - Why Censored?

Glad we have reviews on here. Why can't they offer a censored and uncensored version side by side so we can pick what we prefer?

- old stuff

I love this old stuff. I like a lot of new stuff also. But this helps us remember what molded us, how we came to be...

- RIDICULOUS

this is stupid, Cash is arguably the most well known singer of all time he shouldnt be cencered But this a great album and it would cost close to 50 to get all of these on the other albums of Cash, its a steal even though it is cencered

- Legend!

While is doesn't have anything from the American recordings, but there are enough classics for great enjoyment. Love u n miss ya Johnny!

- A true country legend

Best country music I've ever heard!!!!!!!! Rest in peace,Johnny. Your legend will live on.

- Legend

I just realized that a lot of the songs that we cant find are in the American I,II,III,IV,V such as I won't back down, ain't no grave etc, just got to do a little searhing

- Whats up

I love my songs and u guys should to every body should know me cuz im johnny cash du

- ring of fire!!!

I  ring of fire!!! best song ever!!! lol

- Feverish

I have to play it every now and then to shake me loose.

- Cash

The best

- Boy named Sue

I remember when this song came out and it was great... I have to admit when I saw it I just had to buy it, if for nothing else the Memory's of that time long ago. Bye Johnny...

- love it

enough said :o)

- edited

Don't download this version. It has SOB bleeped out. the unedited version from the original 1969 concert is not edited and it's only $0.99.

- Truth.

One of the most influential singers of the last century. Though others today are far popular, it is my belief they can not be compared to the legacy he left us.

- Love him! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love all his songs! Definitely a Legend in history! ❤❤

- The Essential Johnny Cash

Yes I didn't read about the censorship part also and will more picker when buying from iTunes again. Also I learned how to load my own CDs on to my iphone and Mac computer and that is where I going first from now on before I waste good hard earned monies here again.

- of course its good because its johnny cash if it wasnt amazing it wouldnt be johnny cash

i hate censored songs just as much as the next guy you cant censor johnny cash its like taking a dump on his grave you wouldnt do that would you? no unless if you were wierd or something

- Favourite

Johnny cash is my favourite artist

- EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHO HE IS

my friends tell me they never heard of Jonny Cash, it makes me sad. JONNY CASH IS A HUGE LEGEND PEAPLE

- I love Johnny Cash.

Me and my friend Freddy made a band in kindergarten and we sang the ring of fire and walk the line. He sounds so much like Johnny.GET THIS!!!!!!!! :D

- Completed My Album

I purchased Ring Of Fire and just had to have the whole album. What a bargin, all this music. BillyK

- It's all here

Don't get too hung up on the censorship on "Boy Named Sue". The BEEP is so old school it almost adds to the feel of the song. This is an incredible selection of some of the greatest songs in country and rock history. If you're new to Johnny, this is the best $17 you can spend.

- yeeeeeeeeeeeha

This is the perfect example of country music. This isnt even close to being my favorite singer but hes okay.

- Cash

The best album of all time! I have the whole thing. It's the best

- Good songs!

Great album, but it should NOT be censored.

- OMG!

You need to buy this NOW!!!

- Hey, MAN!!!

Really, Johnny Cash knows what he's talking about.... do we really need the censorship.... I'm just glad I only buoght one song and spent 99 cents instead of the full album price...

- All songs should be untouched

As usual I failed to read.....Boy named Sue is EDITED don't waste your money!
