Lyrics

Brother, brother
Just look what they have done to your poor boy
You know the bullet isn't so bad
It just look like they been havin' fun
Well, I see visions of dumplin's
Stitches dancin' all in my head
But I'm not gonna worry
Because I might wake up in the mornin' dead
If I should die, Lordy, before I wake
Please won't you do me just one last favor
Won't you please unveil the fake
Mother, mother
Just look what they have done to your old boy
Well, bullet isn't so bad
Just look like they been havin' fun
I see visions of dumplin's
They dancin' all in my head
But I'm not gonna worry
Because I might wake up in the mornin' dead
If I should die, Lordy, before I wake
Please won't you do me just one last favor
Won't you please unveil the fake
Mother, mother
Just look what they have done to your old boy
Well, bullet isn't so bad
Just look like they been havin' fun
I don't know, but I been told
About the work of the devil and now I know
I don't know, but I been told
About the work of the devil and now I know
Said I know
Brother, brother
Just look what they have done to your old boy
You know the bullet isn't so bad
It just look like they been havin' fun
I see visions of dumplin's
Stitches dancin' all in my head
But I'm not gonna worry
Because I might wake up in the mornin' dead
If I should die, well, Lordy, before I wake
Please won't you do me just one last favor
Won't you please unveil the fake
