Lyrics
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
With his wife and five children and his cabin broken down
He looks for work and money in the walls of ragged miles
He looks for work and money in the walls of ragged miles
Children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile
They're waiting at the midnight train to the graveyard
It's never too late, a thousand quarter mile
Somewhere in the distance, there's seventeen people gone
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
With his wife and five children and his cabin broken down
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
With his wife and five children and his cabin broken
With his wife and five children
Five children and broken down
They're bad winds are a-landin' at the end of time
And you, story, want to be mine
Story, want to be mine
Story is telling that you're mine
Children are laughin' in their evening light
Children are laughin' in their evening light
Evening light
Broken down
Hattie Brown, he lives on the outside of town
With his wife and five children and his cabin broken down, down, down
Down, down
