Ballad of Hollis Brown Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Dan_Aus 

Cover art for Ballad of Hollis Brown lyrics by Bob Dylan

This song is somewhat morbid in my opinion. A story which describes one man's dealings with poverty as we know it in the 20th/21st century. Definitely 'no sugar on top' of this tale, personally this song parallels with Steinbecks's 'Grapes of Wrath" as I see it, no romance, just reality.
