Verse
D# G# D#
My name is Joel Roberts I work for the state
A#
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number eight
D# G# D#
I always done an honest job as honest as I could
A# D#
I got a brother named Frankie and Frankie ain't no good
D# G# D#
Now ever since we was young kids it's been the same come down
A#
I get a call on the shortwave Frankie's in trouble downtown
D# G# D#
Well if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
A# D#
But when it's your brother sometimes you look the other way
[Chorus]
G# D#
Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin'
G# D#
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
G# D#
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band
A#
Played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
D# G# D#
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
A# (or A7) D#
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good
[Verse]
D# G# D#
Well Frankie went in the army back in 1965
D# A#
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
D# G# D#
But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin' robbed
D# G# D#
Frankie came home in `68, and me, I took this job
[Chorus]
G# D#
Yeah we're laughin' and drinkin'
G# D#
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
G# D#
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band
A#
Played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
D# G# D#
I catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that line
A# D#
Man turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mine
[Verse]
D# G# D#
Well the night was like any other, I got a call `bout quarter to nine
D# A#
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
D# G# D#
There was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head
D# A# D#
There was a girl cry'n' at a table and it was Frank, they said
D# G# D#
Well I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lights
D# A#
Well I musta done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that night
D# G# D#
It was out at the crossroads, down `round Willow bank
D# A# D#
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates. Behind the wheel was Frank
D# G# D#
Well I chased him through them county roads Till a sign said "Canadian border five miles from here"
D# A# D#
I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappear
[Chorus]
G# D#
Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin'
G# D#
Nothin' feels better than blood on blood
G# D#
Takin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band
A#
Played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
D# G# D#
I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother would
A# (or A7) D#
Man turns his back on his family well he just ain't no good
