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
 I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
 And it's a hard, 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 with nobody on it
 I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
 I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
 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, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
 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 a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
 And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son ?
