• gerçekçi bir dille yazılmış hüzünlü bir bob dylan şarkısı. south dakota'daki bir çiftlikte yedi kişi ölür. uzaklarda bir yerlerde yedi kişi daha doğar.
• yoksulluktan çocuklarına yemek bulamayan hollis brown'ın kendi, karısı ve 5 çocuğunu öldürüşünün kurgusal trajik öyküsünü anlatan bob dylan parçasıdır, orjinalinden dinlenmelidir.

  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 cabin broken down
  
  he looked for work and money
  and he walked a ragged mile
  he looked for work and money
  and ya' walked a ragged mile
  your children are so hungry
  that they don’t know how to smile
  
  your baby’s eyes look crazy
  they’re a-tugging at your sleeve
  your baby’s eyes look crazy
  they’re a-tugging at your sleeve
  you walk the floor and wonder why
  with every breath you breathe
  
  the rats have got your flour
  bad blood it got your mare
  the rats have got your flour
  bad blood it got your mare
  ıf there’s anyone that knows
  ıs there 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
  your empty pockets tell ya'
  that you ain’t a-got no friend
  
  your babies are crying louder now
  ıt’s a-poundin' on your brain
  your babies are crying louder now
  ıt’s a-poundin' on your brain
  your wife’s screams are stabbin' ya'
  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 lone 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 hanging on the wall
