Luke Doucet - Brother lyrics

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
