DMy name is Joe RobertsG I work for the statDe
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8A
DI always done an honest job Gas honest as I coDuld
I got a brother named FranAkie and Frankie ain't no gDood
Now ever since we was young kids it's bGeen the same come dDown
I get a call on the shortwave Frankie's in trouble downAtown
DWell if it was any other man, IG'd put him straight aDway
But when it's your brotherA sometimes you look the other wDay
Yeah me and FGrankie laughin' and drinDkin'
Nothin' feels beGtter than blood on blDood
Takin' turnGs dancin' with MaDria as the band
Played "Night of the Johnstown FlAood"
I caDtch him when he's strayin' lGike any brother wDould
Man turns his back on his famAily well he just ain't no gDood
Well Frankie went in the army back inG 1965D
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wAife
BDut them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it wasG like we were gettin' D
robbed
Frankie came home in `A68, and me, I took this jDob
Yeah we're lauGghin' and drinkDin'
Nothin' feels bGetter than blood on bDlood
Takin' turGns dancin' with MaDria as the band
Played "Night of the Johnstown FlAood"
I caDtch him when he's strayin' tGeach him how to walk that liDne
Man turns his back on his famAily he ain't no friend of Dmine

Well the night was like any other, I got a cGall `bout quarter to nDine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan lAine
There was a kDid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad blGeedin' hard from his heDad
There was a girl cry'n' at a table Aand it was Frank, tDhey said
Well I went out and I jumped in my car Gand I hit the lDights
Well I musta done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that nAight
It was Dout at the crossroads, dGown `round Willow bDank
Seen a Buick with Ohio pAlates behind the wheel was FDrank
Well I chased him through them county roads
Till a sGign said "Canadian border five miles fDrom here"
I pulled over the side of the hAighway and watched his tail-lights diDsappear
Me and FGrankie laughin' and dDrinkin'
Nothin' feels Gbetter than blood on bDlood
Takin' tuGrns dancin' with MaDria as the band
Played "Night of the Johnstown FlAood"
I caDtch him when he's strayin' Gteach him how to walk that lDine
Man turns his back on his faAmily and he just ain't no gDood D G D
