[Verse 1]
There's grievin' in the country
There's sorrow in the sand
There's sobbin' in the shanty
And there's anger in the land
[Verse 2]
A woman broods in silence
Close beside an open door
Flung on her flimsy doorstep
Lies a corpse upon the floor
[Verse 3]
"You'll not ask me why I'm silent"
The woman said to me
Her two eyes blazed in anger
And her throat throbbed agony
[Verse 4]
Oh, once my heart could cry in sorrow
Now it lies there on the floor
In the ashes by the hearthstone
They can't hurt it anymore
[Verse 5]
Oh, let the wind go cryin' yonder
In the treetops by the spring
Let its voice be soft and feeling
Like it was a living thing
There's grievin' in the country
There's sorrow in the sand
There's sobbin' in the shanty
And there's anger in the land
[Verse 2]
A woman broods in silence
Close beside an open door
Flung on her flimsy doorstep
Lies a corpse upon the floor
[Verse 3]
"You'll not ask me why I'm silent"
The woman said to me
Her two eyes blazed in anger
And her throat throbbed agony
[Verse 4]
Oh, once my heart could cry in sorrow
Now it lies there on the floor
In the ashes by the hearthstone
They can't hurt it anymore
[Verse 5]
Oh, let the wind go cryin' yonder
In the treetops by the spring
Let its voice be soft and feeling
Like it was a living thing
