Hollis Brown Old Blind Dogs

[Verse 1]
Hollis Brown, he lived
On the outside of town
Hollis Brown, he lived
On the outside of town
With his wife, his five children
And his cabin broken down

[Verse 2]
He looked for work and money
And he walked a ragged mile
He looked for work and money
And he walked a ragged mile
But your children are so hungry
That they don’t know how to smile

[Verse 3]
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
Is there anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares

[Verse 4]
You pray to the Lord above
Oh, please send you a friend
You pray to the Lord above
Oh, please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell ya that
You ain’t got no friends
