Paroles de Five Brothers

Five brothers
Five brothers, who left Arkansas
Set out to find the gambler who murdered their pa!
R: Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man who killed their pa in New Orleans.
They heard of him in Houston and his trail was leadin´ west
He´d left there many month ago and so they couldn´t rest.
R: Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man who killed their pa in New Orleans, New Orleans.
The sun was hot as fire and the nights were cold as steel
Hate was strong and youth was wild and so they couldn´t feel.
R: Five brothers and three in their teens
Gotta find the man who killed their pa in New Orleans.
His trail led to the badlands and the desert promises death
The gambler´s odds were different now we treasured every breath
R: Five brothers and three in their teens
Close behind the man who killed their pa in New Orleans, New Orleans
When first they saw the killer he was by a waterhole
Five rifles rang out through the night, they killed the gambler cold
R: Five brothers and three in their teens
Finally got the man who killed their pa in New Orleans
The desert is their keeper now, for this the traveler said
The poison lived within the hole now six of them are dead
R: Five brothers and three in their teens
Lay beside the man who killed their pa in New Orleans, New Orleans
Lay beside the man who killed their pa in New Orleans
