  • (1963) 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 dont 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 aint 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
  • Like 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 cant seem to stand
  • Your brain is a-bleedin
  • And your legs cant seem to stand
  • Your eyes fix on the shotgun
  • That youre 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
