Ballad of Hollis Brown Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Gforce38 

Cover art for Ballad of Hollis Brown lyrics by Bob Dylan

I dont think it's describing a social problem. I relate it closer to Poe's Haunted palace. An outer enviroment which reflects an inner change. Hollis Brown may have lost himself and then lost his farm "Hollis Brown He lived on the outside of town"
