It's a Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall (Remastered 95) - Leon Russell

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 12 misty mountains I've walked and I 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 10,000 miles in the mouth of a graveyard And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, 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 10,000 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? I heard the sound of the thunder that roared out a warning I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin' I heard 10,000 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 I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall Oh, what did you meet, my blue-eyed son? And 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 woman, her body was burning I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow I met one man who was wounded in love I met another man who was wounded in hatred And it's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard, it's a hard It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? And what'll you do now, my darling young one? I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest Where the people are many and their hands are all empty Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters Where their home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison And the executioner's face is always well-hidden Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten Where black is the colour, where none is the number And I'll tell it and speak it, and think it and breathe it And reflect from the mountains, so all souls can see it And I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin' But I'll know my song well before I start singing 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

If we took a little walk We might have a little talk! Pray let us take the air!" Said the table to the chair (Can't nobody) Said the chair to the table "Now you know we are not able! (Fuck with us) How foolishly you talk When you know we cannot walk!" (Can't nobody) Said the table with a sigh "It can do no harm to try (Fuck with us) I've as many legs as you Why can't we walk on two?" (Say, can't nobody) So they both went slowly down (Fuck with us) And walked about the town With a cheerful bumpy sound (Can't nobody) As they toddled round and round And everybody cried As they hastened to their side (Fuck with us) "See the table and the chair Have come to take the air!" (Y'all say it y'all) But in going down an alley To a castle in the valley They completely lost their way And wandered all the day Till, to see them safely back They paid a ducky quack And a beetle and a mouse Who took them to their house When they whispered to each other "O delightful little brother! (Can't nobody fuck with us) What a lovely walk we've taken! Let us dine on beans and bacon!" So the ducky and the little Browny (Say it, y'all) Mousey and the Beetle Dined, And danced upon the heads Till they toddled to their beds (Can't nobody fuck with us) Good God Good God Good God Revolution, baby way down low Beautiful night, y'all say it Beautiful night, y'all say it Say what a beautiful night, y'all say it Beautiful night, y'all say it Come on (Oh-we-oh-ooh) Say it (Oh-we-oh-ooh) Say it louder, y'all (Oh-we-oh-ooh) Say it louder, y'all (Oh-we-oh-ooh) Miko, Miko, hit me in the back with funk Beautiful night, y'all say it Beautiful night, y'all say it Everybody feelin' alright, y'all say it Gonna be a beautiful night, y'all say it Everybody Oh-we-oh-ooh, oh-we-oh-ooh Say it Oh-we-oh-ooh, oh-we-oh-ooh Say it Oh-we-oh-ooh, oh-we-oh-ooh Oh-we-oh-ooh, oh-we-oh-ooh Get the horns in here Keep singin' y'all Everybody clap your hands Everybody clap your hands Everybody, groove, come on Confusion!
