Version 1 of the lyrics

1  Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town   Hollis Brown                                        1
2  Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town   He             lived on the outside of town 2
3  With his wife and five children and his cabin broken down   Hollis Brown                                                           3
4                                           He lived on the outside of town 4
5  He looked for work and money and you walked a rugged mile   With his wife       and five children                               5
6  He looked for work and money and you walked a rugged mile   And his cabin brokin' down.                                           6
1  Your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile   1
7                                        You looked for work and money 7
8  Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve   And you walked a rugged mile                              8
9  Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're a-tuggin' at your sleeve   You looked for work and money                              9
10  You walk the floor and wonder why with every breath you breathe                    And                                                          you walked a rugged mile 10
11                                     Your children are so hungry 11
12  The rats had got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare   That they don't know how to smile.                              12
2  The rats had got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare   2
13  If there's anyone that knows, is there anyone that cares?   Your baby's eyes look crazy                                  13
14                                          They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve 14
15  He prayed to the Lord above, oh please send you a friend   Your baby's eyes look crazy                                           15
16  He prayed to the Lord above, oh please send you a friend   They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve                                           16
17  Your empty pockets tell you that you ain't a-got no friend   You walk the floor and wonder why                           17
18                                        With every breath you breathe. 18
3  Your babies are crying louder now, it's pounding on your brain   3
19  Your babies are crying louder now, it's pounding on your brain   The rats have got                                   your flour 19
20  Your wife's screams are stabbin' you like the dirty drivin' rain   Bad blood it got your mare                                  20
21                                       The rats have got your flour 21
22  Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well   Bad blood it got                                 your mare 22
23  Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well   If                             there's anyone that knows             23
24  You spent your last lone dollar on seven shotgun shells   Is there anyone that cares ?                             24
4   4
25  Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls   You prayed to the Lord above                      25
26  Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls   Oh please send you              a friend                26
27  Your eyes fix on the shotgun that's hangin' on the wall   You prayed to     the Lord above                         27
28                                      Oh please send you a friend 28
29  Your brain is a-bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand   Your empty pocket tell you                                     29
30  Your brain is a-bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand   That you ain't a-got no friend.                               30
5  Your eyes fix on the shotgun that you're holdin' in your hand   5
31                                            Your babies are crying louder now 31
32  There's seven breezes a-blowin' all around the cabin door   It's pounding on your brain                           32
33  There's seven breezes a-blowin' all around the cabin door   Your babies are crying louder now                   33
34  Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar                It's                                       pounding on your brain 34
35                                               Your wife's screams are stabbin' you 35
36  There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm   Like the dirty drivin' rain.                         36
6  There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm   6
  Somewhere in the distance, there's seven new people born   Your grass is turning black
