Brother Is Gone

(专辑： Election Special - 2012)

We met old Satan down where the two roads cross
Just me and brother Davy by my side
It was in the prairie town of Wichita
We shook hands with Satan on a deal that night

You will be exalted in the evil works of men
High power 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

Oil spills and cancer towns was our stepping stones
Immigration bills and foreclosure homes
States' rights we proclaimed
Like in the good old Jim Crow days
Our highest aim was to take your vote away

Brother is gone, brother is gone
Brother is gone, little 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 traveling shoes?
Brother is gone, brother is gone, little brother is gone
Brother is gone, he's gone, brother is gone
Old Satan, he's a man of his word
Oh, brother is gone
