<pre><font size='+2'>BALLAD OF HOLLIS BROWN lyrics NINA SIMONE</font><br>(1963) Bob Dylan <br />
     <br />
   Hollis Brown<br />
 He lived on the outside of town<br />
 Hollis Brown<br />
 He lived on the outside of town<br />
 With his wife and five children<br />
 And his cabin fallin` down<br />
 <br />
 You looked for work and money<br />
 And you walked a rugged mile<br />
 You looked for work and money<br />
 And you walked a rugged mile<br />
 Your children are so hungry<br />
 That they don`t know how to smile<br />
 <br />
 Your baby`s eyes look crazy<br />
 They`re a-tuggin` at your sleeve<br />
 Your baby`s eyes look crazy<br />
 They`re a-tuggin` at your sleeve<br />
 You walk the floor and wonder why<br />
 With every breath you breathe<br />
 <br />
 The rats have got your flour<br />
 Bad blood it got your mare<br />
 The rats have got your flour<br />
 Bad blood it got your mare<br />
 If there`s anyone that knows<br />
 Is there anyone that cares?<br />
 <br />
 You prayed to the Lord above<br />
 Oh please send you a friend<br />
 You prayed to the Lord above<br />
 Oh please send you a friend<br />
 Your empty pockets tell yuh<br />
 That you ain`t a-got no friend<br />
 <br />
 Your babies are crying louder<br />
 It`s pounding on your brain<br />
 Your babies are crying louder now<br />
 It`s pounding on your brain<br />
 Your wife`s screams are stabbin` you<br />
 Like the dirty drivin` rain<br />
 <br />
 Your grass it is turning black<br />
 There`s no water in your well<br />
 Your grass is turning black<br />
 There`s no water in your well<br />
 You spent your last lone dollar<br />
 On seven shotgun shells<br />
 <br />
 Way out in the wilderness<br />
 A cold coyote calls<br />
 Way out in the wilderness<br />
 A cold coyote calls<br />
 Your eyes fix on the shotgun<br />
 That`s hangin` on the wall<br />
 <br />
 Your brain is a-bleedin`<br />
 And your legs can`t seem to stand<br />
 Your brain is a-bleedin`<br />
 And your legs can`t seem to stand<br />
 Your eyes fix on the shotgun<br />
 That you`re holdin` in your hand<br />
 <br />
 There`s seven breezes a-blowin`<br />
 All around the cabin door<br />
 There`s seven breezes a-blowin`<br />
 All around the cabin door<br />
 Seven shots ring out<br />
 Like the ocean`s pounding roar<br />
 <br />
 There`s seven people dead<br />
 On a South Dakota farm<br />
 There`s seven people dead<br />
 On a South Dakota farm<br />
 Somewhere in the distance<br />
 There`s seven new people born<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/ballad_of_hollis_brown_lyrics-nina_simone.html" target='_blank'>BALLAD OF HOLLIS BROWN lyrics NINA SIMONE</a></pre>

(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 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?

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 ain`t a-got no friend

Your babies are crying louder
It`s pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder now
It`s pounding on your brain
Your wife`s 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 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
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 ocean`s pounding roar

There`s seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
There`s seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There`s seven new people born
