Brother James
Brother James went out ridin'
Ridin' in that '29 Fo'd
Brother James went out ridin'
Ridin' in that '29 Fo'd
Well, that poor man been drinkin' bad whiskey
Hee-hee, well boys, he sure done lose his soul
Lord, I went out in Greenfield
Looked down in brother Jame's face
'Beat it on out, last one send'
Oh, I went out in Greenfield
Looked down in brother Jame's face
I says, 'Sleep on Brother James
I'll meet you, will arrive someday
Oh, Brother James died awful suddenly
An he didn't have no time to pray
'Play it on out, boys'
Brother James died suddenly
Didn't have time to pray
I said, 'Goodbye Brother James, yee-hee'
Well I'll meet you, will I arrive someday'
Now, he left po' Sister Lottie
Tryin' to save her wicked soul
'Play it boys'
Ah, he left Sister Lottie
Tryin' to save her wicked throne
He ain't goin' out drink no mo' whiskey
Hee-hee, well boy, won't ride in no '29 Fo'd
I went to the graveyard
An I peeped down in brother Jame's face
Lord, I went to the graveyard, an I
Peeped down in brother Jame's face
Says, 'You know you died drunk, Brother James
An' you didn't have no time to pray
Well-well, Brother James
Hope we will meet someday
'Play it for poor Joe once'
Well-well, Brother James
Hope we would meet someday
I will be at the Christian table, hee-hee
We're gonna serve Brother James far away.
Hermano James
Hermano James salió a cabalgar
Montando en ese '29 Fo'd
Hermano James salió a cabalgar
Montando en ese '29 Fo'd
Bueno, ese pobre hombre había estado bebiendo mal whisky
Ji-ji, bueno muchachos, seguro que perdió su alma
Señor, fui a Greenfield
Miré a la cara de hermano James
'Vete, último en enviar'
Oh, fui a Greenfield
Miré a la cara de hermano James
Dije, 'Duerme hermano James
Te encontraré, llegaré algún día'
Oh, Hermano James murió terriblemente de repente
Y no tuvo tiempo de rezar
'Tóquenlo, muchachos'
Hermano James murió repentinamente
No tuvo tiempo de rezar
Dije, 'Adiós Hermano James, ji-ji'
Bueno, te encontraré, llegaré algún día'
Ahora, dejó a la pobre Hermana Lottie
Tratando de salvar su alma pecadora
'Tóquenlo muchachos'
Ah, dejó a la Hermana Lottie
Tratando de salvar su trono pecador
Ya no va a salir a beber más whisky
Ji-ji, bueno muchacho, no cabalgará en ningún '29 Fo'd
Fui al cementerio
Y miré a la cara de hermano James
Señor, fui al cementerio, y
Miré a la cara de hermano James
Dije, 'Sabes que moriste borracho, Hermano James
Y no tuviste tiempo de rezar
Bueno-bueno, Hermano James
Espero que nos encontremos algún día
'Tóquenlo por el pobre Joe una vez'
Bueno-bueno, Hermano James
Espero que nos encontremos algún día
Estaré en la mesa cristiana, ji-ji
Vamos a servir a Hermano James lejos.
