Blowin' in the Wind

Eddy Arnold · Folk Song Book [RCA Victor] [1964]

(Bob Dylan)



How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man

Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?



How many times must a cannonballs fly

Before they're forever banned

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.



How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky

Yes, and how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?



How many deaths will it take

Till he knows that too many people have died?

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it's washed to the sea

Yes, and how many years can some people exist

Before they're allowed to be free.



How many times can a man turn his head

Pretending he just doesn't see

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind

The answer is blowin' in the wind...
