| Lyrics: | Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young
one?
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I've walked and I've crawled on
six crooked highways,
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,
I've been out in
front of a dozen dead oceans,
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,
And
it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna
fall.
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young
one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with
nobody on it,
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',
I saw a room full of men
with their hammers a-bleedin',
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten
thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of
young children,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
And it's a hard
rain's a-gonna fall.
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my
darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',
Heard the roar
of a wave that could drown the whole world,
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were
a-blazin',
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',
Heard one person starve, I
heard many people laughin',
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Heard the sound
of a clown who cried in the alley,
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a
hard,
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed
son?
Who did you meet, my darl |
