《The Ballad Of Hollis Brown》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Hollis Brown - Neville Brothers

[00:00:30] Hollis brown

[00:00:31] He lived on the outside of town

[00:00:41] Hollis brown

[00:00:41] He lived on the outside of town

[00:00:48] With his wife and five children

[00:00:52] And his cabin broken down

[00:00:57] Will you looked for work and money

[00:01:00] And you walked a rugged mile

[00:01:05] You looked for work and money

[00:01:08] And you walked a rugged mile

[00:01:13] Your children are so hungry

[00:01:17] That they don't know how to smile

[00:01:22] Your baby's eyes look crazy

[00:01:25] They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve

[00:01:30] Your baby's eyes look crazy

[00:01:32] They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve

[00:01:39] You walk the floor and wonder why

[00:01:42] With every breath you breathe

[00:01:47] You prayed to the lord above

[00:01:50] Please send you a friend

[00:01:56] You prayed to the lord above

[00:01:58] Oh please send you a friend

[00:02:04] But your empty pockets tell yuh

[00:02:06] That you ain't a-got no friend

[00:02:29] Your babies are crying louder

[00:02:31] It's pounding in your brain

[00:02:39] Your babies are crying louder now

[00:02:41] It's pounding on your brain

[00:02:48] Your wife's screams are stabbin' you

[00:02:50] Like the dirty drivin' rain

[00:02:56] Your grass it is turning black

[00:02:57] There's no water in your well

[00:03:04] Your grass is turning black

[00:03:06] There's no water in your well

[00:03:11] You spent your last lone dollar

[00:03:14] On seven shotgun shells

[00:03:23] Way out in the wilderness

[00:03:25] A cold coyote calls

[00:03:32] Way out in the wilderness

[00:03:34] A cold coyote calls

[00:03:41] Your eyes fix on the shotgun

[00:03:43] That's hangin' on the wall

[00:03:48] Your brain is a-bleedin'

[00:03:50] And your legs can't seem to stand

[00:03:57] Your brain is a-bleedin'

[00:03:58] And your legs can't seem to stand

[00:04:05] Your eyes fix on the shotgun

[00:04:07] That you're holdin' in your hand

[00:04:25] There's seven breezes a-blowin'

[00:04:27] All around the cabin door

[00:04:34] There's seven breezes a-blowin'

[00:04:35] All around the cabin door

[00:04:41] Seven shots ring out

[00:04:42] Like the ocean's pounding roar

[00:05:02] There's seven people dead

[00:05:04] On a south dakota farm

[00:05:10] Somewhere in the distance

[00:05:12] There's seven new people born
