Brother, oh my brother How have you been Digging holes and building railroads and I think of you often When the sun is coming up on the blue ridge hills I hear the owls they're hooting softly And I think of you Come on down from those hills Come on down from those hills that you've run before Follow down that old old river Follow down that old old river that you've run before Run before Where did you go Where did you go Where did you go Brother, my brother Brother, oh my brother Strong as the mountains It's you that's coming down It's you that's coming It's you that's coming down this time Brother of mine Tall as a tower It's you that's coming down It's you that's coming It's you that's coming down this time Brother, oh my brother I'm waiting by the lighthouse It's you that's coming down It's you that's coming It's you that's coming down this time
