Brother, oh brother Will I see you again When I left you on Walnut St. you were a wabted man Brother, oh brother Where will you lay your head under a velvet Jesus, Just to keep you safe from death Brother, oh brother What is the crime you done, Did you consort with the devil via cocaine and a gun Oh brother, oh brother No shame and no surprise, we all expect the unexpected from the bo who never cries Brother, oh brother You watch your fragile back, The vultures, they are circling You know the ones in black. Brother, oh brother Never will they tire Fortunes built on laying the guilt for the heat inside of a fire, Brother, oh brother The rumour is a man who looks just like you was seen with a six shot in his hand. He was drunker than Arbuckle and he was highter than Chang. Only by the grace of God will I see you again Brother, oh brother You are not the killing type, so I will pray for your forgiveness if they string you up tonight Brother, oh brother Will I see ou again When I left you at Walnut St. you were a wanted man
