Where have you been my blue-eyed son?
Where have you been my darling young one?

I've stumbled on side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled down six crooked highways
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
Been ten-thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

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


What did you see my blue-eyed son?
What did you see my darling young one?

Saw the newborn babe with wild wolves all around it
Saw the highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw the black branch with blood that kept drippin'
Saw the room full of men whose hammers were bleedin'
I saw the white ladder all covered with water
Saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall


What did you hear my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear my darling young one?

Heard the sound of the thunder that roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one person starve, heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown that cried in the alley

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall


Who did you meet my blue-eyed son?
And who did you meet my darling young one?

I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a young man who had a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met (a) young man who was wounded in love
I met another man, he was wounded in hatred

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

And what'll you do now my blue-eyed son?
And what'll you do now my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out where the rain starts a-fallin'
I'm goin' down deep in the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
And the executioner's face is always well-hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
AndI'll stand in the ocean until I start sinkin'
And I'll know my song well before I start singin'

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
