Mother gave birth to two Died cause of number three Left us a man insane hard to handle So we waited for the early train My brother stood up to me Claimin' he's a self made man Ready to go on a tail chase flow Be back with the money can He's been away 25 nights and days Tell me now have you seen A man with a young boy's face Heading east past the walnut trees All rags and an easy laugh And if you see him go Tell him the crops've gone I can't I can't wait no more He's been away 25 nights and days He's been away 25 nights and days My brother No one bothers For whom I would not hesitate to kill Away outside in the night Away outside is where he hides Like you boy there's only one. Only one He's been away 25 nights and days He's been away 25 nights and days My brother No one bothers For whom I would not hesitate to kill Oh my brother No one bothers
