Bob Dylan - Long Ago, Far Away lyrics

[Verse 1] To preach of peace and brotherhood Oh, what might be the cost! A man he did it long ago And they hung him on a cross Long ago, far away These things don't happen No more, nowadays [Verse 2] The chains of slaves they dragged the ground With heads and hearts hung low But it was during Lincoln's time And it was long ago Long ago, far away Things like that don't happen No more, nowadays [Verse 3] The war guns they went off wild The whole world bled its blood Men's bodies floated on the edge Of oceans made of mud Long ago, far away Those kind of things don't happen No more, nowadays [Verse 4] One man had much money One man had not enough to eat One man he lived just like a king The other man begged on the street Long ago, far away Things like that don't happen No more, nowadays [Verse 5] One man died of a knife so sharp One man died from the bullet of a gun One man died of a broken heart To see the lynching' of his son Long ago, far away Things like that don't happen No more, nowadays
