Artist：bob dylan Songs Title：ballad of hollis brown Album by: The Times They Are A-changin Artist 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 babys eyes look crazy Theyre a-tuggin at your sleeve Your babys eyes look crazy Theyre 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 theres 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 Its pounding on your brain Your babies are crying louder now Its pounding on your brain Your wifes screams are stabbin you T.ike the dirty drivin rain Your grass it is turning black Theres no water in your well Your grass is turning black Theres 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 Thats 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 Theres seven breezes a-blowin All around the cabin door Theres seven breezes a-blowin All around the cabin door Seven shots ring out Like the oceans pounding roar Theres seven people dead On a south dakota farm Theres seven people dead On a south dakota farm Somewhere in the distance Theres seven new people born
