Lyrics
Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town With his wife, his five children, and his cabin broken down He looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mile He looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mile But your children are so hungry that they don’t know how to smile The rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mare The rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mare Is there anyone that knows, is there anyone that cares You pray to the Lord above, oh please send you a friend You pray to the Lord above, oh please send you a friend Your empty pockets tell ya that you ain’t got no friends Your babies' eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve Your babies' eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve You walk the floor, you wonder why with every breath you breathe 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 lone last dollar on seven shotgun shells
