Nazareth - The Ballad of Hollis Brown слова песни
(copyright bob dylan,1963 m. witmark & sons.warner bros. music)Hollis brown he lived, on the outside of townHollis brown he lived, on the outside of townWith his wife and five childrenIn his cabin broken downHe looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mileHe looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mileYour children are so hungryThat they dont know how to smileYour babys eyes look crazy and theyre tuggin at your sleeveYour babys eyes look crazy and theyre tuggin at your sleeveYou walk the floor and you wonder whyWith every breath you breatheThe rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mareThe rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mareIs there anyone that knowsIs there anyone that caresYou prayed to the lord above to please send you a friendYou prayed to the lord above to please send you a friendYour empty pockets tell youThat you aint got no friendYour babys a cryin louder now its poundin on your brainYour babys a cryin louder now its poundin on your brainYour wifes screams are a stabbin youLike dirty, drivin rainYour grass is turnin black and theres no water in your wellYour grass is turnin black and theres no water in your wellYou spent your last lone dollarOn them seven shotgun shellsWay out in the wilderness a cold coyote callsWay out in the wilderness a cold coyote callsYour eyes fix on the shotgunThats hangin on the wallYour brain it is a bleedin and your legs cant seem to standYour brain it is a bleedin and your legs cant seem to standYour eyes fix on the shotgunThat youre holdin in your handTheres seven breezes blowin around the cabin doorTheres seven breezes blowin all around the cabin doorSeven shots ring outLike the oceans pounding roarTheres seven people dead on a south dakota farmTheres seven people dead on a south dakota farmSomewhere in the distanceTheres seven new people born.
