Alice Brown
Alice Brown, he lived on the outside of town
Alice Brown, he lived on the outside of town
Alice Brown, with his wife and five children and his cabin broken down
Alice Brown, he looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
Alice Brown, he looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
Alice Brown, he lived on the outside of town
That they don't know how to smile
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're tugging at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're tugging at your sleeve
And you walk the floor and wonder
Why with every breath
Hey, hey
Oh, the rats have got your father
That blood has got your man
The rats have got your father
That blood has got your man
If there's anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares
Yeah
And now you're praying to the Lord of all
Please send you a friend
And now you're praying to the Lord of all
Please send you a friend
But you have to clock and tell you
That you ain't got no friends
Your baby's eyes are crying
And it's pounding in your brain
Yeah, your baby's eyes are crying
And it's pounding in your brain
And your wife screams and stabbing
Like the dirty driving rain
Your grass is turning black
And there's no water in your well
No
Your grass is turning black
And there's no water in your well
And you spent your last little dollar
On seven shaggy shoes
Your way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
And now it's fixed up in your mind
On the shotgun that's hanging on the wall
Your brain, it is a bleeding
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain, it is a bleeding
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fixed on the shotgun
That you're holding in your hand
Whoa
Oh, oh, oh
And now theoid stabbing breeze is blowing
All around the cabin bar
And the silver breeze is blowing
All around my cabin
And silver shots me out
Like the ocean's pounding rod
There's seven people dead out on a South Dakota farm
There's seven people dead out on a South Dakota farm
And somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born
