《The Ballad of Hollis Brown》歌词

[00:00:12] Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town

[00:00:21] Hollis Brown he lived on the outside of town

[00:00:30] With his wife and five children

[00:00:32] And his cabin broking down

[00:00:34]

[00:00:39] You looked for work and money

[00:00:41] And you walked a rugged mile

[00:00:48] You looked for work and money

[00:00:50] And you walked a rugged mile

[00:00:57] Your children are so hungry

[00:00:59] That they don't know how to smile

[00:01:05] Your baby's eyes look crazy

[00:01:08] They're a tugging at your sleeve

[00:01:14] Your baby's eyes look crazy

[00:01:17] They're a tugging at your sleeve

[00:01:23] You walk the floor and wonder why

[00:01:26] With every breath you breathe

[00:01:32] The rats have got your flour

[00:01:35] Bad blood it got your mare

[00:01:41] The rats have got your flour

[00:01:44] Bad blood it got your mare

[00:01:50] If there's anyone that knows

[00:01:53] Is there anyone that cares

[00:01:59] You prayed to the Lord above

[00:02:02] Oh please send you a friend

[00:02:08] You prayed to the Lord above

[00:02:10] Oh please send you a friend

[00:02:17] Your empty pocket tell you

[00:02:19] That you ain't a got no friend

[00:02:26] Your babies are crying louder now

[00:02:28] It's pounding on your brain

[00:02:35] Your babies are crying louder now

[00:02:37] It's pounding on your brain

[00:02:44] Your wife's screams are stabbing you

[00:02:46] Like the dirty driving rain

[00:02:53] Your grass is turning black

[00:02:55] There's no water in your well

[00:03:01] Your grass is turning black

[00:03:04] There's no water in your well

[00:03:10] Your spent your last lone dollar

[00:03:13] On seven shotgun shels

[00:03:20] Way out in the wilderness

[00:03:22] A cold coyote calls

[00:03:29] Way out in the wilderness

[00:03:31] A cold coyote calls

[00:03:37] Your eyes fix on the shortgun

[00:03:40] That's hanging on the wall

[00:03:46] Your brain is ableeding

[00:03:48] And your legs can't seem to stand

[00:03:55] Your brain is ableeding

[00:03:57] And your legs can't seem to stand

[00:04:04] Your eyes fix on the shortgun

[00:04:06] That you're holding in your hand

[00:04:13] There's seven breezes ablowing

[00:04:15] All around the cabin door

[00:04:22] There's seven breezes ablowing

[00:04:24] All around the cabin door

[00:04:31] Seven shots ring out

[00:04:33] Like the ocean's pounding roar

[00:04:50] There's seven people dead

[00:04:52] On a south Dakota farm

[00:04:59] There's seven people dead

[00:05:01] On a south Dakota farm

[00:05:08] Somewhere in the distance

[00:05:10] There's seven new people born
