Ry Cooder - Brother is Gone lyrics

rate me

We met him sitting down where the two roads cross

Just me and brother David by my side

It was in a pretty town of Wichita

We shook hands with Satan on the deal and I

He will be exalting in the evil works of men

High paw 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

All your spears and council times

The wars I stepped in and storms

Innovation... and for a coat of arms

Stage rise we proclaim, back in the good old jingle days

Our highest aim was to take over the way

Brother is gone, brother is gone

Brother is gone, brother is gone

When I woke 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 belt and shoes?

Brother is gone, brother is gone

Lil brother is gone

Oh Satan is a man of his word

Oh brother is gone
