My Brother's Will - The Louvin Brothers[00:00:01]
Written by:Ken Nelson[00:00:03]
My brother and I were out hunting[00:00:05]
A stray bullet made him its mark[00:00:10]
I carried him back to the cabin[00:00:14]
His life nothing more than a spark[00:00:18]
He whispered to me very softly[00:00:22]
Dear brother I'm going away[00:00:27]
So listen and come to me closely[00:00:31]
There's so much that I have to say[00:00:35]
My sweetheart her dear name is Sally[00:00:40]
Her mother and father have died[00:00:44]
She's waiting alone in the valley[00:00:48]
When I left her oh how she cried[00:00:53]
I promised to bring her my fortune[00:00:57]
Return to the valley and wed[00:01:01]
But I've had a call from my maker[00:01:06]
So I'll have to go there instead[00:01:10]
He gave me the ring he had bought her[00:01:19]
And told of the plans they had made[00:01:23]
He spoke of how long she had waited[00:01:27]
And for his return how she prayed[00:01:32]
He gave me a small piece of paper[00:01:36]
The will he had made for this day[00:01:41]
I promised to do as he wanted[00:01:45]
The good lord would show me the way[00:01:49]
He gave me his home in the valley[00:01:54]
And all of the money he had[00:01:58]
He asked me to marry his Sally[00:02:03]
And promise she'd never be sad[00:02:07]
But once long ago we were rivals[00:02:12]
For I loved her too from the start[00:02:16]
I'd made up my mind to stay single[00:02:20]
For Sally had broken my heart[00:02:25]
My dear brother went up to heaven[00:02:35]
And I went to our valley home[00:02:39]
But Sally had married another[00:02:43]
So what's left for me but to roam[00:02:48]
I pray the good lord up above me[00:02:52]
To keep brother's faith in me still[00:02:57]
His Sally was fickle unfaithful[00:03:01]
That's why I broke my brother's will[00:03:05]
