[Verse 1] [D]All this brownie lived on the outside of town All this brownie lived on the outside of town His wife and five children, his cabin broken down [G]You loo[D]k for work and money and you walk a ragged mile You look for work and money and you walk a ragged mile All your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're tugging at your sleeve Your baby's eyes look crazy, they're tugging at your sleeve You walk the floor and wonder why with every breath you breathe The rats have got your flower, the bad blood has got your mare The rats have got your flower, the bad blood has got your mare If there's anyone that knows, or anyone who cares You pray to the Lord above, say please send you a friend You pray to the Lord above, please send you a friend But your empty pockets tell you, you ain't got no friend Your babies are crying louder now, it's a pounding on [C]your brain [D] Your wives are screaming, starving, you like the dirty driving rain, rain Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well You spent your last long dollar on a seven shotgun shell Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls And your eyes fix on a shotgun that's hanging on the wall Your brain is bleeding and your legs can't seem to stand Your brain is bleeding now and your legs can't seem [Ab]to stand[D] Your eyes fix on the sucker that you're holding in your hand And seven beasts is blowing all around your cabin door And seven beasts is blowing all around your cabin door And seven sharks ring out like the oceans pounding roar There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm Somewhere in the distance There's seven new people born
