(Mel Tillis - Carl Smith)

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 them redcoats run
Goin' down their drum, goin' down their drum.

Listen, listen Johnny. better get your gun
'Cause there ain't puttin' 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 gun
We can tell our mommies how we made them run
Goin' down thier drum
Goin' down their drum, goin' down their drum.

Ten thousand drums, ten thousand drums...
This song is from the album "Heart Over Mind [Columbia]", "Heart Over Mind (And Other Big Country Hits)" and "Mr. Mel [Harmony]".
