Ballad Of Hollis Brown - Bob Dylan

Written by:Bob Dylan

Hollis Brown

 

He lived on the outside of town

 

Hollis Brown

 

He lived on the outside of town

 

With his wife and five children

 

And his cabin fallin' down

 

You looked for work and money

 

And you walked a rugged mile

 

You looked for work and money

 

And you walked a rugged mile

 

Your children are so hungry

 

That they don't know how to smile

 

Your baby's eyes look crazy

They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve

 

Your baby's eyes look crazy

They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve

 

You walk the floor and wonder why

 

With every breath you breathe

 

The rats have got your flour

 

Bad blood it got your mare

 

The rats have got your flour

 

Bad blood it got your mare

 

If there's anyone that knows

 

Is there anyone that cares

 

You prayed to the Lord above

Oh please send you a friend

 

You prayed to the Lord above

 

Oh please send you a friend

 

Your empty pockets tell yuh

 

That you ain't a-got no friend

 

Your babies are crying louder

 

It's pounding on your brain

 

Your babies are crying louder now

It's pounding on your brain

 

Your wife's screams are stabbin' you

Like the dirty drivin' rain

 

Your grass it is turning black

There's no water in your well

 

Your grass is turning black

There's no water in your well

 

You spent your last lone dollar

 

On seven shotgun shells

 

Way out in the wilderness

 

A cold coyote calls

 

Way out in the wilderness

A cold coyote calls

 

Your eyes fix on the shotgun

That's hangin' on the wall

 

Your brain is a-bleedin'

And your legs can't seem to stand

 

Your brain is a-bleedin'

And your legs can't seem to stand

 

Your eyes fix on the shotgun

 

That you're holdin' in your hand

 

There's seven breezes a-blowin'

 

All around the cabin door

 

There's seven breezes a-blowin'

All around the cabin door

 

Seven shots ring out

 

Like the ocean's pounding roar

 

There's seven people dead

 

On a South Dakota farm

 

There's seven people dead

On a South Dakota farm

 

Somewhere in the distance

 

 

There's seven new people born
