Brother James went out riding : riding in that 
twenty?nine Ford
That poor man was drinking bad whiskey : ooo well boys he 
sure going to lose his soul
Lord I went out in Greenville : looked down in brother 
James' face
I says sleep on brother James : I'll meet you 
Resurrection Day
Lord brother James died under surgery : and he didn't 
have the time to pray
I said goodbye brother James : ooo well I'll meet you 
Resurrection Day
Now he love sister Lottie : trying to save her wicked 
soul
She ain't going to drink no more whiskey : ooo well boys 
going to ride no twenty?nine Ford
I went to the graveyard : and I peeped down in brother 
James' face
Says you know you died drunk brother James : and you 
didn't have no time to pray
Farewell brother James : hope we will meet some day
I will be at the *official table* : ooo well when *they 
send* brother James *my way*
