I've stumbled on the side
of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six
I've stepped in the middle
I've been out in front of
I've been ten thousand miles
in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a hard,
it's a hard, and it's a hard
It's a hard rain's a- gonna fall
Oh, what did you see, my blue- eyed son
And what did you see, my darling young one
I saw a newborn baby with
wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds
I saw a black branch with
I saw a room full of men with their
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I 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, and it's a hard,
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder that
Heard the roar of a wave that could
Heard one hundred drummers
whose hands were a- blazin'
Heard ten thousand whisperin'
I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died
Heard the sound of a clown
And it's a hard, and it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a- gonna fall
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met an other man who was
And it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a- gonna fall
I'm a- goin' back out 'fore the
I'll walk to the depths of the
Where the people are many and their
Where the pellets of poison are
Where the home in the valley meets
And the executioner's face
where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color,
And I'll tell it and think it and
And reflect it from the mountain
Then I'll stand on the ocean
But I'll know my song well
And it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a- gonna fall
