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 Yes, he looked for work and money Walked a rugged mile His children are so hungry They don't know how to smile
The rats have got your flour Bad blood it's got your mare The rats have got your flour Bad blood it's got your mare Is there's anyone that knows Is there anyone that cares?
So you prayed to the Lord above Please send you a friend Yes, you prayed to the Lord above Please send you a friend But your empty pockets tell yuh That you ain't a-got no friend
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
Your baby's eyes look crazy It's a-tuggin' at your sleeve Your baby's eyes look crazy It's 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's got your mare The rats have got your flour Bad blood it's got your mare Is there's anyone that knows Is there anyone that cares?
So you prayed to the Lord above Please send you a friend You prayed to the Lord above Please send you a friend But your empty pockets tell yuh That you ain't a-got no friend
So your babies are screaming louder Now it's pounding in your brain Your babies are screaming louder now It's pounding in your brain Your wife's screams are stabbin' you Like the dirty drivin' rain
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
Seven breezes blowin' All around the cabin door There's seven breezes blowin' All around the cabin door Seven shots ring out Like the ocean's pounding roar
