Seven Brothers Richard Thompson

[Verse 1]
There were seven brothers sat by the road
And every one was dressed in black
They smiled at everyone who passed
They smiled at them but none smiled back

[Verse 2]
A stranger passed along the road
Says the first brother, he'll be mine soon
I plugged the bloodwork in his veins
And his heart will burst like a child's balloon

[Verse 3]
Another stranger passed them by
Says the second brother, soon he will moan
He threw the claw, dig out his bowels
And he'll pray to the God he's never known

[Verse 4]
Another stranger passed them by
Says the third brother, the job's in hand
With corruption I'll fill his lungs
And he'll drown standing on dry land

[Verse 5]
Another stranger passed them by
Says the fourth brother, the seed is sown
Attacking his mind with helplessness
And the hand on the gun will be his own
