[Verse 1]
Oh, Ewhere have you been, my Ablue-eyed soEn?
Oh, Ewhere have you been, my darling young Bone?
I’ve Astumbled on the side of Btwelve misty Emountains
I’ve Awalked and I’ve crawled on Bsix crooked Ehighways
I’ve Astepped in the middle of Bseven sad Eforests
I’ve Abeen out in front of a Bdozen dead Eoceans
I’ve been Aten thousand miles in the Bmouth of a Egraveyard
And it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Bhard, it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Ahard
E B [ E ]
And it’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

[Verse 2]
Oh, Ewhat did you see, my bluAe-eyed son? E
Oh, Ewhat did you see, my darling young oneB?
I saw a Anewborn baby with wild Bwolves all aEround it
I saw a Ahighway of diamonds with Bnobody Eon it
I Asaw a black branch with Bblood that kept Edrippin’
I saw a Aroom full of men with their Bhammers a-Ebleedin’
I Asaw a white ladder all Bcovered with Ewater
I saw Aten thousand talkers whose Btongues were all Ebroken
I saw Aguns and sharp swords in the Bhands of young Echildren
And it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Bhard, it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Ahard
E B [ E ]
And it’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

[Verse 3]
And Ewhat did you hear, my blAue-eyed son?E
And Ewhat did you hear, my darling young Bone?
I heard the Asound of a thunder, it Broared out a Ewarnin’
Heard the Aroar of a wave that could Bdrown the whole Eworld
Heard Aone hundred drummers whose Bhands were a-Eblazin’
Heard Aten thousand whisperin’ and Bnobody Elistenin’
Heard Aone person starve, I heard Bmany people Elaughin’
Heard the Asong of a poet who Bdied in the Egutter
Heard the Asound of a clown who Bcried in the Ealley
And it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Bhard, it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Ahard
E B [ E ]
And it’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

[Verse 4]
Oh, Ewho did you meet, my Ablue-eyed Eson?
EWho did you meet, my darling young Bone?
I Amet a young child beBside a dead Epony
I Amet a white man who Bwalked a black Edog
I Amet a young woman whose Bbody was Eburning
I Amet a young girl, she Bgave me a Erainbow
I Amet one man who was Bwounded in Elove
I Amet another man who was Bwounded in Ehatred
And it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Bhard, it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Ahard
E B [ E ]
And it’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

And, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
And, Ewhat’ll you do now, my darling young Bone?
I’m a-Agoin’ back out ’fore the Brain starts a-Efallin’
I’ll Awalk to the depths of the Bdeepest dark Eforest
Where the Apeople are many and their Bhands are all Eempty
Where the Apellets of poison are Bflooding their Ewaters
Where the Ahome in the valley meets the Bdamp dirty Eprison
And the Aexecutioner’s face is Balways well hEidden
Where Ahunger is ugly, where Bsouls are forEgotten
Where Ablack is the color, where Bnone is the Enumber
And I’ll Atell it and think it and Bspeak it and Ebreathe it
And Areflect it from the mountain so Ball souls can Esee it
Then I’ll Astand on the ocean unBtil I start Esinkin’
But I’ll Aknow my song well beBfore I start Esingin’
And it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Bhard, it’s a Ehard, and it’s a Ahard
E B [ E ]
And it’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall
