Lyrics To Bobby - Joan Baez
(Words
and
Music
by
Joan
Baez)
I′ll
put
flowers
at
your
feet
and
I
will
sing
to
you
so
sweet
And
hope
my
words
will
carry
home
to
your
heart
You
left
us
marching
on
the
road
and
said
how
heavy
was
the
load
The
years
were
young,
the
struggle
barely
had
its
start
Do
you
hear
the
voices
in
the
night,
Bobby?
They're
crying
for
you
See
the
children
in
the
morning
light,
Bobby
They′re
dying
No
one
could
say
it
like
you
said
it,
we'd
only
try
and
just
forget
it
You
stood
alone
upon
the
mountain
till
it
was
sinking
And
in
a
frenzy
we
tried
to
reach
you
With
looks
and
letters
we
would
beseech
you
Never
knowing
what,
where
or
how
you
were
thinking
Do
you
hear
the
voices
in
the
night,
Bobby?
They're
crying
for
you
See
the
children
in
the
morning
light,
Bobby
They′re
dying
Perhaps
the
pictures
in
the
Times
could
no
longer
be
put
in
rhymes
When
all
the
eyes
of
starving
children
are
wide
open
You
cast
aside
the
cursed
crown
and
put
your
magic
into
a
sound
That
made
me
think
your
heart
was
aching
or
even
broken
But
if
God
hears
my
complaint
He
will
forgive
you
And
so
will
I,
with
all
respect,
I′ll
just
relive
you
And
likewise,
you
must
understand
these
things
we
give
you
Like
these
flowers
at
your
door
and
scribbled
notes
about
the
war
We're
only
saying
the
time
is
short
and
there
is
work
to
do
And
we′re
still
marching
in
the
streets
with
little
victories
and
big
defeats
But
there
is
joy
and
there
is
hope
and
there's
a
place
for
you
And
you
have
heard
the
voices
in
the
night,
Bobby
They′re
crying
for
you
See
the
children
in
the
morning
light,
Bobby
They're
dying
