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 broken down He looked for work and money And he walked a rugged mile He looked for work and money And he 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? He prayed to the Lord above Oh please send you a friend He prayed to the Lord above Oh please send you a friend Your empty pockets tell you That you ain't a-got no friend Your babies crying louder now It's a pounding on your brain Your babies crying louder now It's a pounding on your brain Your wife 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 alone 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 oceans pounding roar There's seven people dead On a south Dakota farm Well there's seven people dead On a south Dakota farm Somewhere's in the distance There's seven new people born |
