[E] 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 [A] cabin falling [E] down
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
He looked for work and money and he [C#m] walked a ragged [E] mile
Your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile
There's bedbugs on your baby's bed, there's chinches on your wife
There's bedbugs on your baby's bed, there's chinches on your wife
Gangrene snuck in your side, it's a-cuttin' you like a knife
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 flower, bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flower, bad blood it got your mare
If there's anyone that knows, there's anyone that cares
He prayed to the Lord above, oh please send you a friend
He prayed to the Lord above, oh please send you a friend
You ain't got no money, boy, you ain't got no friend
Your baby's eyes are cryin' louder, it's poundin' on your brain
Your baby's are cryin' louder now, it's a-poundin' on your brain
Your wife's screams are stabbin' like the dirty drivin' rain
Your grass is turnin' black, there's no water in your well
Your grass is turnin' black, there's no water in your well
You spent your last long 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 sing out like the ocean's poundin' 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
