from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, 1963
2
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
3
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
4
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
5
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
6
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
7
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
8
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
9
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
10
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
11
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
12
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
13
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
14
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
15
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
16
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
17
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
18
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
19
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
20
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
21
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
22
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
23
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
24
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
25
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
26
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
27
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
28
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
29
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
30
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
31
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
32
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
33
Oh, who did you meet, my blue eyed son?
34
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
35
I met a young child beside a dead pony
36
I met a white man who walked a black dog
37
I met a young woman whose body was burning
38
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
39
I met one man who was wounded in love
40
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
41
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
42
It's a hard rain's a gonna fall
43
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
44
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
45
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a fallin'
46
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
47
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
48
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
49
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
50
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
51
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
52
Where black is the color, where none is the number
53
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
54
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
55
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
56
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
57
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
58
It's a hard rain's a gonna fall
