My name is Joe Roberts I work for the stateI'm a sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8I always done an honest job as honest as I couldI got a brother named Frankie and Frankie ain't no goodNow ever since we was young kids it's been the same come downI get a call over the radio Frankie's in trouble downtownWell if it was any other man, I'd put him straight awayBut when it's your brother sometimes you look the other wayYeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin'Nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with Maria as the bandPlayed "Night of the Johnstown Flood"I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother wouldMan turns his back on his family well he just ain't no goodWell Frankie went in the army back in 1965I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wifeBut them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin'robbedFrankie came home in `68, and me, I took this jobYeah we're laughin' and drinkin'Nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with Maria as the bandPlayed "Night of the Johnstown Flood"I catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that lineMan turns his back on his family he ain't no friend of mineWell the night was like any other, I got a call `bout quarter to nineThere was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan lineThere was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his headThere was a girl cry'n' at a table and it was Frank, they saidWell I went out and I jumped in my car and I hit the lightsWell I musta done one hundred and ten through Michigan county that nightIt was out at the crossroads, down `round Willow bankSeen a Buick with Ohio plates. Behind the wheel was FrankWell I chased him through them county roadsTill a sign said "Canadian border five miles from here"I pulled over the side of the highway and watched his tail-lights disappearMe and Frankie laughin' and drinkin'Nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with Maria as the bandPlayed "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
