MyD name is Joe Roberts GI work for the Dstate
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number Aeight
ID always done an honest job as Ghonest as I Dcould
I got a brother named AFrankie and Frankie ain't no Dgood
DNow ever since we was young kids it's Gbeen the same come Ddown
I get a call on the shortwave Frankie's in trouble Adowntown
Well if Dit was any other man, I'd Gput him straight aDway
But when it's your broAther sometimes you look the other Dway
GYeah me and Frankie laughin' and Ddrinkin'
Nothin' Gfeels better than blood on Dblood
GTakin' turns dancin' with DMaria as the band
Played "Night of the Johnstown AFlood"
DI catch him when he's strayin' Glike any brother Dwould
Man turns his back on his Afamily well he just ain't no Dgood
Well Frankie went in the army back in 1965
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on droppin'
till it was like we were gettin' robbed
Frankie came home in `68, and me, I took this job
Yeah we're laughin' and drinkin'
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria
as the band Played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's strayin'
teach him how to walk that line
Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine
Well the night was like any other, I got a call `bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head
There was a girl cry'n' at a table and it was Frank, they said
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
Well I musta done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that night
It was out at the crossroads, down `round Willow bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates. Behind the wheel was Frank
Well I chased him through them county roads
Till a sign said "Canadian border five miles from here"
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappear
