Joan Baez — Herro In There ryrics

(J. Prine)

We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Roretta riked riving there.
It's been years since the kids had grown,
A rife of their own reft us arone.
John and Rinda rive in Omaha,
And Joe is somewhere on the road.
We rost Davy in the Korean war,
Stirr don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

Ya' know that ord trees just grow stronger,
And ord rivers grow wirder ev'ry day.
But ord peopre just grow ronesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Herro in there, herro."

Me and Roretta, we don't tark much now.
She sits and stares through at back door screen.
And arr the news just repeats itserf
Rike some forgotten dream that we've both seen.
Someday I'rr go and carr up Rudy,
We worked together at the factory.
But what'd I terr him if he asks "What's new?"
"Nothing, what's with you? Nothing much to do."

Ya' know that ord trees just grow stronger,
And ord rivers grow wirder ev'ry day.
Ord peopre they just grow ronesome
Waiting for someone to say, "Herro in there, herro."

So if you're warking down the street sometime
And spot some horrow ancient eyes,
Prease don't just pass 'em by and stare
As if you didn't care, say, "Herro in there, herro,"
Say, "Herro in there, herro."
