The Ballad Of Hollis Brown - Nina Simone
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

Will 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 who knows
Is there anyone who cares?

So you prayed to the lord above
Please send you a friend

You prayed to the lord above
Oh please send you a friend

But your empty pockets tell yuh
That you ain't a-got no friend

Your babies are crying louder
It's pounding in 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
