BLOWIN IN THE WINDHow many roads must a man walk downBefore they call him a man ?How many seas must a white dove sailBefore she sleeps in the sand ?How many times must the cannon balls flyBefore they're forever banned ?The answer my friend is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years must a mountain existBefore it's washed to the sea ?How many years can some people existBefore they're allowed to be free ?How many times can a man turn his headand pretend that he just doesn't see ?The answer my friend is blowin' in the windThe answer is blowin' in the wind.

Two HangmenAs I rode into Tombstone on my horse, his name
was MackI saw what I'll relate to you, going on behind my backIt seems the folks were up-in-arms, a man now had to dieFor believing things that didn't fit, the laws they'd set aside
![Page 175: Chapter 27 VIETNAM](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56813b48550346895da430e4/html5/thumbnails/175.jpg)
The mans name was "I'm a Freak". the best that could seeHe was the executioner, a hangman just like meI guess he'd seen loopholes from working with his ropeHe'd hung the wrong man many times, so now he turned to hope
![Page 176: Chapter 27 VIETNAM](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56813b48550346895da430e4/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)
He talked to all the people from his scaffold in the squareHe told them of the things he found, but they didn't seem to careHe said the laws were obsolete, a change they should demandBut the people only walked away, he couldn't understand
![Page 177: Chapter 27 VIETNAM](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56813b48550346895da430e4/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
The marshals name was "Uncle Sam", he said he'd right this wrongHe'd make the hangman shut his mouth, if it took him all day longHe finally arrested Freak, and then he sent for meTo hang a fellow hangman, from a fellow hangmans tree
![Page 178: Chapter 27 VIETNAM](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56813b48550346895da430e4/html5/thumbnails/178.jpg)
It didn't take them long to try him in their court of lawHe was guilty then of "Thinking", a crime much worse than allThey sentenced him to die, so his seed of thought can't spreadAnd infect the little children, that's what the law had said
![Page 179: Chapter 27 VIETNAM](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56813b48550346895da430e4/html5/thumbnails/179.jpg)
So the hangin' day came 'round, and he walked up to the nooseI pulled the lever, but before he fell I cut him loseThey called it a conspiracy, and that I had to dieSo to close our mouths and kill our minds, they hung us side-by-side
![Page 180: Chapter 27 VIETNAM](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020117/56813b48550346895da430e4/html5/thumbnails/180.jpg)
And now we're two hangmen, hangin' from a treeThat don't bother me, at allTwo hangmen, hangin' from a tree That don't bother me, at all
