Brother Is Gone |
| We met old Satan down where the two roads crossed |
| Just me and brother Dave by my side |
| It was in the prairie town of Wichita |
| We shook hands with Satan on a deal that night |
| You will be exalted in the evil works of men |
| High powered, rolling over land and sea |
| But some dark night I’ll be coming round again |
| And take one of you down back to Hell with me Oil spills and cancer towns was our steppin' stones |
| Immigration bills and foreclosure homes |
| States' rights we proclaimed like in the good old Jim Crow days |
| Our highest aim was to take your vote away |
| Brother is gone |
| Brother is gone |
| Brother is gone |
| Little brother is gone |
| Brother is gone |
| When I woke up this morning, he was gone |
| His bed was made |
| And there’s his Bible, too |
| I wonder did he have time |
| To put on his travelin' shoes |
| Brother is gone |
| Brother is gone |
| Little brother is gone |
| Brother is gone |
| He’s gone |
| Brother is gone |
| Old Satan, he’s a man of his word |
| Oh, brother is gone. |
