Lyrics Leon Russell – It’s A Hard Rain Gonna Fall

Tell me where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Where have you been, my darling young one?
I’ve stumbled up on the side of twelve misty mountains,
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled over six crooked highways,

Tell me what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
What did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a black branch dripping with blood all around it,
I saw a room full of men with their hammers bleedin’,
I saw a white ladder all covered with water,
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,
Well it’s hard, yes it’s hard, yes it’s hard,
Oh yeah,
It’s a hard rain’s gonna fall.

Tell me what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
What did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard one hundred drummers, hands that were blazin’,
Ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’,
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’,
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,
Well it’s hard, yes it’s hard, yes it’s hard,
Oh it’s hard yeah,
It’s a hard rain’s gonna fall.

Well what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
What’ll you do now, my darling young one?
Well I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,

Wah-hoo
Wah-hoo
Wah-hoo
Wah-hoo
