| Oh brother let me take my rest
|
| And leave this wild and wicked west
|
| Where the river runs red with blood
|
| Until it all dries up and turns to mud
|
| I heard you shot a lawman down
|
| At a card game south of Oakland town
|
| A Russell city marshall dead
|
| All the California papers read
|
| You know by now they’ve seen your face
|
| Dead or alive it’s a thousand dollar race
|
| With dust in your eyes it’s hard to see
|
| Oh brother I come to take you home with me
|
| Well it didn’t seem that long ago
|
| You were breaking ground in Calico
|
| But a miner’s life just wouldn’t hold
|
| For a gamblers heart will never fold
|
| Yeah so you headed out to 'Frisco bay
|
| Where the miner’s gambled all their pay
|
| But you’re never one to settle down
|
| You just dealt your hand from town to town
|
| A gamblers heart is bound to roam
|
| Wherever you hang your hat is home
|
| If I ever leave this broken land
|
| I’ll be headed home for Alabama
|
| Where the honeysuckle smells so sweet
|
| And the moonshine knocks you off your feet
|
| I dreaming out of my bellows bed
|
| And a feathered pillow 'neath my head
|
| And I say a prayer for my brother Jack
|
| 'Cause I know now he ain’t coming back
|
| I know right now it’s plain to see
|
| Oh brother I only want you to be free
|
| With dust in your eyes it’s hard to see
|
| And rust in your skies it’s hard to breathe
|
| Oh brother I only want you to be free
|
| Oh brother I only want you to be free
|
| Oh brother let me take my rest
|
| And leave this wild and wicked west |
