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've 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 ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

And it's hard it's hard it's hard it's hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Oh what did you see my blue eyed son

What did you see my darling young one

Saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

Saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'

Saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'

I saw a white ladder all covered with water

Saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

Saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

And it's hard it's hard it's hard it's hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what did you hear my blue-eyed son

And what did you hear my darling young one

And it's hard it's hard it's hard it's hard

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

It's a hard rain

What did you see my blue eyed son
