| Brother James went out ridin'
|
| Ridin' in that '29 Fo’d
|
| Brother James went out ridin'
|
| Ridin' in that '29 Fo’d
|
| Well, that poor man been drinkin' bad whiskey
|
| Hee-hee, well boys, he sure done lose his soul
|
| Lord, I went out in Greenfield
|
| Looked down in brother Jame’s face
|
| 'Beat it on out, last one send'
|
| Oh, I went out in Greenfield
|
| Looked down in brother Jame’s face
|
| I says, 'Sleep on Brother James
|
| I’ll meet you, will arrive someday
|
| Oh, Brother James died awful suddenly
|
| An he didn’t have no time to pray
|
| 'Play it on out, boys'
|
| Brother James died suddenly
|
| Didn’t have time to pray
|
| I said, 'Goodbye Brother James, yee-hee'
|
| Well I’ll meet you, will I arrive someday'
|
| Now, he left po' Sister Lottie
|
| Tryin' to save her wicked soul
|
| 'Play it boys'
|
| Ah, he left Sister Lottie
|
| Tryin' to save her wicked throne
|
| He ain’t goin' out drink no mo' whiskey
|
| Hee-hee, well boy, won’t ride in no '29 Fo’d
|
| I went to the graveyard
|
| An I peeped down in brother Jame’s face
|
| Lord, I went to the graveyard, an I Peeped down in brother Jame’s face
|
| Says, 'You know you died drunk, Brother James
|
| An' you didn’t have no time to pray
|
| Well-well, Brother James
|
| Hope we will meet someday
|
| 'Play it for poor Joe once'
|
| Well-well, Brother James
|
| Hope we would meet someday
|
| I will be at the Christian table, hee-hee
|
| We’re gonna serve Brother James far away. |
