Brother Ray they say you're gonenow maybe you can see
my head rolling...my feet tapping
what you've done to fools like me
love in my heart but the sin on my soul
don't stop running until I'm told
I tell you I'm scared of getting old
Brother Ray they say you're gone
Brother Ray they say you're gone
falling down it ain't no crime
I'm just a white boy from northern PA
how you singing what's on my mind?
watched your brother die
watched your country lie
then they closed your eyes
Brother Ray they say you're gone
Brother Ray they say you're gone
we won't see your likes no more
big band gospel blues jazz rock and soul
everybody welcome on the dance floor
some may pause to pray
I got another way
I'm gonna sit here and play
Brother Ray they say you're gone
