Many people in this world should listen carefully to this song. Look at a rainbow; all different colors, yet they stay together colorfully and peacefully. Too bad people are too stubborn to do the same.
So this is where this song came from. I don't remember where I even learned this, but I used to sing it to the children I babysat. They were obsessed with it.
A funny add on to your statement. In real life Lynn Baker WAS Tom and Delores's babysitter for Teresa (Carol) while the film was being made. They used anybody, and everybody around to make this film. That IS her singing, but if you look closely, she's not playing that guitar. I'm not knocking her, hell, I was in love with her back then.
@JRFrancisco Yes it's a wonderful song--but One Tin Soldier is the best song from the film. I watch THIS clip bc the song is so good! One Tin Soldier sadly is even more relevant today than in the 70's! Too many "Valley" people!
I was raised in Mississippi Sayin’ yessir to all the men But I found out that got me no where So I never said it again It’s a civil rights song adapted from “May the Circle be Unbroken,” written by Ada R Habershon in 1907
I remember protesting in 1970 . I was just a kid but I knew what it was all about . We had legal permits allowing us to be there . But the cops and the guard showed up . We were being very peaceful . All of a sudden tear gas was being hurled at us . Followed by gunfire . 29 wounded 4 dead . We were ignored by the media . The Billy Jack movies have a lot of respect from me . They addressed the Native American struggle as well as equal rights for everyone .
Dave, the Kent State massacre changed many minds and history validates the anti war movement. The deaths in Ohio brought recruits to the cause, and I believe many more names would be on the Wall without that terrible day. I first saw Billy Jack aboard the USS Hanson, a destroyer headed to Vietnam in April 1972. Its' message still rings true and despite some amateurish touches, it holds up today.Just saw it on SonyHD channel.
@@jdp1950 On the way to Vietnam? Wow! Dude, got tears in my eyes right now. Thanks so much for your service. Yes, the film is a bit art skule, but it's central themes still hold true today. Why just last month, outside my little apartment here in Huntington Beach, Ca., I stood in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and lifted my clinched fist high in the air. ✌😎🏄♂️
There's an error in this movie and it's this scene Native Americans don't have any Princesses that's a saying for White people pretending that they have Native American blood
I did not see this movie until 1979 when I was a Junior in High School...I was always a sucker for guitar playing girls who could sing! Lynn Baker was my type of girl too, sort of tomboyish and the kind of girl who seemed comfortable in the country! Very unlike the girl I ended up marrying though!
To bad they were not able to make more of the Billy Jack movies. I own all three. This song had a great impact on me personally. I am still part of the rainbow. I will try to write the son of Billy Jack; Russell Ray, or something like that LOL. I love it!
I'm pretty sure it's from the 2nd Billy Jack movie. 1. Born Losers (1967) 2. (The Legend of) Billy Jack (1971) 3. The Trial of Billy Jack (1974) 4. Billy Jack Goes to Washington (1977) Interesting film. So idealistic. I like the mix of amateur and professional actors.
Billy Jack films were great.
70's style film.
Billy Jack movie's were excellent
My favorite movies.
We sing this at Camp Foss! This makes me miss it so much! Even though, at camp, it's softer and much slower.

Yep
This movie was 50 years ago and we still need to learn to live together
Where have you gone Billy Jack where have you gone
What do we want
Peace
Love this movie. My kids watched some of it today they are 3,6,7

Best song in the film. Great lyrics.
Yes it's a good song but the BEST SONG FROM THE MOVIE BILLY JACK WAS AND STILL IS ONE TIN SOLIDER! JUST MY OPTION!!!!!! ONE TIN SOLDIER!!!!!!
Yeah, but they spoke over the black lady's part. Being from Mississippi, I'm a little pissed. Damn liberal racists.
Great tune!

third verse: I was raised in mississippi
playing jester to "the man"
but I found it got me no where
so I won't play it again!
I love this song!
I think it is ...saying yes sir to the man, or white man....
I was raised in Mississippi
Sayin’ yessir to all the men
But I found out that got me no where
So I never said it again

I saw this movie when I was a kid in the 1990s or early 2000s I can’t remember where I saw it at but it always stuck with me.
At least Jean had a friend in that cop who was willing to work w her and her school.
I saw him guest star on a couple of episodes of Dragnet. Mike the deputy had bit parts in Airplane and Gremlins.
Teacher on the reservation. My first calling. 😉 I guess it was just meant to be wisconsin.
same here! i'm trying to find the slower softer version of it though.
To bad they were not able to make more of the Billy Jack movies. I own all three. This song had a great impact on me personally. I am still part of the rainbow. I will try to write the son of Billy Jack; Russell Ray, or something like that LOL. I love it!

❤🎉
Afford a MAYFLOWER.
😊

KTJ sample @ 1:18
Mickey on the farm
I am sorry. Could someone tell me what movie this from?
I'm pretty sure it's from the 2nd Billy Jack movie.
1. Born Losers (1967)
2. (The Legend of) Billy Jack (1971)
3. The Trial of Billy Jack (1974)
4. Billy Jack Goes to Washington (1977)
Interesting film. So idealistic. I like the mix of amateur and professional actors.
It’s the second movie “the legend of billy jack” an amazing movie.
Wait a second, this is not a Billy Jack original, this is the same song as "WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN"
Could they turn it into a musical?
Oh, God, no!
Hey...that would be neet!!
lol i only know this song from camp
Hell fuckin' yeah. Stick it to the man.
My conservative mother singing this to me every night and wonders why I'm not...
New idea, find the nearest trump rally and father a larger group and shout this at them.
