My Brother's Will (Remaster) - The Louvin Brothers[00:00:00]
My brother and I were out hunting[00:00:08]
A stray bullet made him its mark[00:00:12]
I carried him back to the cabin[00:00:16]
His life nothing more than a spark[00:00:21]
He whispered to me very softly[00:00:25]
Dear brother I'm going away[00:00:29]
So listen and come to me closely[00:00:33]
There's so much that I have to say[00:00:38]
My sweetheart her dear name is Sally[00:00:42]
Her mother and father have died[00:00:47]
She's waiting alone in the valley[00:00:51]
When I left her oh how she cried[00:00:55]
I promised to bring her my fortune[00:01:00]
Return to the valley and wed[00:01:04]
But I've had a call from my maker[00:01:08]
So I'll have to go there instead[00:01:13]
He gave me the ring he had bought her[00:01:22]
And told of the plans they had made[00:01:26]
He spoke of how long she had waited[00:01:30]
And for his return how she prayed[00:01:34]
He gave me a small piece of paper[00:01:39]
The will he had made for this day[00:01:43]
I promised to do as he wanted[00:01:48]
The Good Lord would show me the way[00:01:52]
He gave me his home in the valley[00:01:56]
And all of the money he had[00:02:01]
He asked me to marry his Sally[00:02:05]
And promise she'd never be sad[00:02:10]
But once long ago we were rivals[00:02:14]
For I loved her too from the start[00:02:18]
I'd made up my mind to stay single[00:02:23]
For Sally had broken my heart[00:02:27]
My dear brother went up to heaven[00:02:37]
And I went to our valley home[00:02:41]
But Sally had married another[00:02:46]
So what's left for me but to roam[00:02:50]
I pray the good Lord up above me[00:02:55]
To keep Brother's faith in me still[00:02:59]
His Sally was fickle unfaithful[00:03:04]
That's why I broke my brother's will[00:03:08]
