'29
Ford

face
(Beat
it
on
out,
sad
words
to
say)
Lord,
I
went
out
in
Greenville,
looked
down
in
Brother
James'
face
I
says,
"Sleep
on,
Brother
James,
I
will
meet
you
Resurrection
Day."
Lord,
Brother
James
died
of
a
sudden,
and
he
didn't
have
time
to
pray
(Lay
it
on
out,
boys)
Brother
James
died
suddenly,
didn't
have
time
to
pray
I
said,
"Goodbye,
Brother
James,
hoo-hoo-well,
I
meet
you
Resurrection
Day."
Now,
he
left
Sister
Lottie,
tryin'
to
save
her
wicked
soul
(Play
it,
boys)
Now,

I
went
to
the
graveyard,
and
I
peeped
down
in
Brother
James'
face
Lord,
I
went
to
the
graveyard
and
I,
peeped
down
in
Brother
James'

Says,
"You
know
you
died
drunk,
Brother
James,
and
you
didn't
have
time
to
pray."
Farewell,
Brother
James,
hope
we
will
meet
someday
(Play
it
for
poor
Joe
once)
Farewell,

someday
I
will

at

James
away
