ฟังเพลงThe Ballad Of Hollis Brown

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 broking 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 tugging at your sleeve

Your baby's eyes look crazy

They're a tugging 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 pocket tell you

That you ain't a got no friend

Your babies are crying louder now

It's pounding on your brain

Your babies are crying louder now

It's pounding on your brain

Your wife's screams are stabbing you

Like the dirty driving rain

Your grass is turning black

There's no water in your well

Your grass is turning black

There's no water in your well

Your spent your last lone dollar

On seven shotgun shels

Way out in the wilderness

A cold coyote calls

Way out in the wilderness

A cold coyote calls

Your eyes fix on the shortgun

That's hanging on the wall

Your brain is ableeding

And your legs can't seem to stand

Your brain is ableeding

And your legs can't seem to stand

Your eyes fix on the shortgun

That you're holding in your hand

There's seven breezes ablowing

All around the cabin door

There's seven breezes ablowing

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
