Marty Robbins - Five Brothers lyrics
rate meFive brothers who left Arkansas<br />
Set out to find the gambler<br />
Who murdered their pa<br />
Five brothers and three in their teens<br />
Gotta find the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans<br />
<br />
They heard of him in Houston<br />
And his trail was leadin' west<br />
He'd left there many months ago<br />
And so they couldn't rest<br />
Five brothers and three in their teens<br />
Gotta find the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans<br />
New Orleans<br />
<br />
The sun was hot as fire<br />
And the nights were cold as steel<br />
Hate was strong and youth was wild<br />
And so they couldn't feel<br />
Five brothers and three in their teens<br />
Gotta find the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans<br />
<br />
His trail led to the Badlands<br />
And the desert promised death<br />
The gambler's odds were different now<br />
He treasured every breath<br />
Five brothers and three in their teens<br />
Close behind the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans<br />
New Orleans<br />
<br />
When first they saw the killer<br />
He was by the waterhole<br />
Five rifles rang out through the night<br />
They killed the gambler cold<br />
Five brothers and three in their teens<br />
Finally got the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans<br />
<br />
The desert is their keeper now<br />
For this a traveler said<br />
That poison lived within the hole<br />
Now six of them are dead<br />
Five brothers and three in their teens<br />
Lay beside the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans<br />
Lay beside the man<br />
Who killed their pa in New Orleans
