Current song lyrics
My name is Joe Roberts I work for the state<br />I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8<br />I always done an honest job as honest as I could<br />I got a brother named Franky and Franky ain't no good<br /><br />Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down<br />I get a call on the short-wave Franky's in trouble downtown<br />Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away<br />But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way<br /><br />Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood<br />Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played 'Night of the Johnstown Flood'<br /><br />I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would<br />Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good<br /><br />Well Franky went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment, settled down,<br />took Maria for my wife<br />But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed<br />Franky came home in '68, and me, I took this job<br /><br />Yea we're laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood<br />Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played 'Night of the Johnstown Flood'<br /><br />I catch him when he's strayin', teach him how to walk that line<br />Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine<br /><br />Well the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine<br />There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line<br />There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head there<br />was a girl cryin' at a table and it was Frank, they said<br />Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights<br />Well I must've done a hundred and ten through Michigan county that night<br /><br />It was out at the crossroads, down round Willow Bank<br />Seen a Buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank<br />Well I chased him through them county roads till a sign said Canadian border<br />five miles from here<br />I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear<br /><br />Me and Franky laughin' and drinkin'<br />Nothin' feels better than blood on blood<br />Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played 'Night of the Johnstown Flood'<br /><br />I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would<br />Man turns his back on his family he just ain't no good
