Oh, where have you been My blue-eyed son? And where have you been My darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains I've walked and I 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 And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you see My blue-eyed son? And 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 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, it's a hard It's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what'll you do now My blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now My darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten Where black is the color, where none is the number And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singing And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, and it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall End
