Peter, Paul and Mary — There’s Anger In the Land

[Verse 1] There's grievin' in the country There's sorrow in the sand There's sobbin' in the shanty And there's anger in the land [Verse 2] A woman broods in silence Close beside an open door Flung on her flimsy doorstep Lies a corpse upon the floor [Verse 3] "You'll not ask me why I'm silent" The woman said to me Her two eyes blazed in anger And her throat throbbed agony [Verse 4] Oh, once my heart could cry in sorrow Now it lies there on the floor In the ashes by the hearthstone They can't hurt it anymore [Verse 5] Oh, let the wind go cryin' yonder In the treetops by the spring Let its voice be soft and feeling Like it was a living thing [Verse 6] There's grievin' in the country There's sorrow in the sand There's sobbin' in the shanty And there's anger in the land
