Peter, Paul & Mary There's Anger In The Land
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
A woman broods in silence
Close beside an open door
Flung on her flimsy doorstep
Lies a corpse upon the floor
"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
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
Oh, let the wind go cryin' yonder
In the tree-tops by the spring
Let it's voice be soft and feelin'
Like it was a livin' thing
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
