Текст песни NINA SIMONE - Ballad Of Hollis Brown
(1963) Bob Dylan Hollis BrownHe lived on the outside of townHollis BrownHe lived on the outside of townWith his wife and five children( )And his cabin fallin' downYou looked for work and moneyAnd you walked a rugged mileYou looked for work and moneyAnd you walked a rugged mileYour children are so hungryThat they don't know how to smileYour baby's eyes look crazyThey're a-tuggin' at your sleeveYour baby's eyes look crazyThey're a-tuggin' at your sleeveYou walk the floor and wonder whyWith every breath you breatheThe rats have got your flourBad blood it got your mareThe rats have got your flourBad blood it got your mareIf there's anyone that knowsIs there anyone that cares?You prayed to the Lord aboveOh please send you a friendYou prayed to the Lord aboveOh please send you a friendYour empty pockets tell yuhThat you ain't a-got no friendYour babies are crying louderIt's pounding on your brainYour babies are crying louder nowIt's pounding on your brainYour wife's screams are stabbin' youLike the dirty drivin' rainYour grass it is turning blackThere's no water in your wellYour grass is turning blackThere's no water in your wellYou spent your last lone dollarOn seven shotgun shellsWay out in the wildernessA cold coyote callsWay out in the wildernessA cold coyote callsYour eyes fix on the shotgunThat's hangin' on the wallYour brain is a-bleedin'And your legs can't seem to stand
