Song by Leon Russell<br /><br>

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?<br>

Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?<br>

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,<br>

I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,<br>

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,<br>

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,<br>

I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,<br>

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,<br>

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.<br>

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?<br>

Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?<br>

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it,<br>

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,<br>

I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',<br>

I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',<br>

I saw a white ladder all covered with water,<br>

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,<br>

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,<br>

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,<br>

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.<br>

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?<br>

And what did you hear, my darling young one?<br>

I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',<br>

Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,<br>

Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',<br>

Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',<br>

Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',<br>

Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,<br>

Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,<br>

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,<br>

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.<br>

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?<br>

Who did you meet, my darling young one?<br>

I met a young child beside a dead pony,<br>

I met a white man who walked a black dog,<br>

I met a young woman whose body was burning,<br>

I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,<br>

I met one man who was wounded in love,<br>

I met another man who was wounded with hatred,<br>

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,<br>

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.<br>

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?<br>

Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?<br>

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',<br>

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,<br>

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,<br>

Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,<br>

Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,<br>

Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,<br>

Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,<br>

Where black is the color, where none is the number,<br>

And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,<br>

And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,<br>

Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',<br>

But I'll know my song well before I start singin',<br>

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,<br>

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.<br>

<br>
