Brother John |
Brother John, Brother John |
What have you done? |
You’ve come here with this woman |
Took the life of a lawman’s son |
I wish that I could help you |
But it’d be best if you’d run |
If they catch you they will kill you |
Brother John, Brother John |
You say you had good reason |
She swears you did her wrong |
She tried to get away |
But his hands were just too strong |
Now the lightnin' is flashin' |
And the rain is pouring down |
And you’re just a step away |
From the sheriff and his hounds |
Brother John, Brother John |
What have you done? |
You’ve come here with this woman |
Took the life of a lawman’s son |
I wish that I could help you |
But it’d be best if you’d run |
Cause if they catch you they will kill you |
Brother John, Brother John |
You never should have been there |
It was wrong right from the start |
Cause she was married to another |
But found her way into your heart |
You’ll have to live with the decisions |
That you let your temper make |
Better get on across that river |
Before they put you in a grave |
Brother John, Brother John |
What have you done? |
You have come here with this woman |
Took the life of a lawman’s son |
I wish that I could help you |
But it’d be best if you’d run |
If they catch you they will kill you |
Brother John, Brother John |
May Lord have mercy on you |
Brother John, Brother John |
