My Brother's Will - The Louvin Brothers[00:00:00]
Written by:Ken Nelson[00:00:03]
My brother and I were out hunting[00:00:07]
A stray bullet made him its mark[00:00:11]
I carried him back to the cabin[00:00:15]
His life nothing more than a spark[00:00:20]
He whispered to me very softly[00:00:24]
Dear brother I'm going away[00:00:28]
So listen and come to me closely[00:00:33]
There's so much that I have to say[00:00:37]
My sweetheart her dear name is Sally[00:00:41]
Her mother and father have died[00:00:46]
She's waiting alone in the valley[00:00:50]
When I left her oh how she cried[00:00:54]
I promised to bring her my fortune[00:00:59]
Return to the valley and wed[00:01:03]
But I've had a call from my maker[00:01:07]
So I'll have to go there instead[00:01:12]
He gave me the ring he had bought her[00:01:21]
And told of the plans they had made[00:01:25]
He spoke of how long she had waited[00:01:29]
And for his return how she prayed[00:01:34]
He gave me a small piece of paper[00:01:38]
The will he had made for this day[00:01:42]
I promised to do as he wanted[00:01:47]
The good lord would show me the way[00:01:51]
He gave me his home in the valley[00:01:56]
And all of the money he had[00:02:00]
He asked me to marry his Sally[00:02:04]
And promise she'd never be sad[00:02:09]
But once long ago we were rivals[00:02:13]
For I loved her too from the start[00:02:17]
I'd made up my mind to stay single[00:02:22]
For Sally had broken my heart[00:02:26]
My dear brother went up to heaven[00:02:36]
And I went to our valley home[00:02:41]
But Sally had married another[00:02:45]
So what's left for me but to roam[00:02:49]
I pray the good lord up above me[00:02:54]
To keep brother's faith in me still[00:02:58]
His Sally was fickle unfaithful[00:03:03]
That's why I broke my brother's will[00:03:07]
