There's Anger In The Land Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

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
