hedy west - anger in the land lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
there’s grievin’ in the plum grove
sobbin’ in the sand
there’s sorrow in the shanty
and there’s anger in the land

[verse 2]
did you see a lynchin’?
ever see an angry mob
mill around a swayin’ body
when it’s done its h+llish job?

[verse 3]
a woman broods in silence
mopes beside an open door
flung on her flimsy doorstep
lies a corpse upon the floor

[verse 4]
“you’ll not ask me why i’m silent”
the woman said to me
her two eyes blazed with anger
and her throat throbbed agony

[verse 5]
“once my heart could cry in sorrow
now it lies thеre on the floor
in the ashеs by the hearthstone
they can’t hurt it anymore”
[verse 6]
let the wind go cryin’ yonder
in the treetops by the spring
let its voice be soft in feelin’
like it was a livin’ thing

[verse 1]
there’s grievin’ in the plum grove
sobbin’ in the sand
sorrow in the shanty
and there’s anger in the land
