My name is Joe Roberts I work for the StateI'm a sergeant out on Perenville barracks No 8I've always done an honest job honest as I couldGot a brother named Frankie Frankie ain't no goodEver since we were young kids it's been the same come downI'd get a call on a short way Frankie's in trouble downtownBut if it was any other man I'd put him straight awayBut sometimes when it's your brother you look the other wayYeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with MariaWhile the band played The Night Of The Johnstown FloodI catch him when he's strayin' like any brother shouldMan turns his back on his family he ain't no goodWell Frankie went into 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's gettin' robbedFrankie came home in '68 and me I took this jobYeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with MariaWhile the band played The Night Of The Johnstown FloodI catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that lineMan turns his back on his family ain't no friend of mine[ guitar ]The night was like any other I got a call bout the quarter of nineThere was trouble at a roadhouse out on the Michigan lineThere was a kid on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his headThere was a girl cryin' at a table it was Frankie she saidI ran out and I jumped in my car then I hit the lightsI must have done about a hundred and ten to Michigan County that nightIt was down by the crossroads out bout willow bankSeen the buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was FrankWell I chased him through them county roadsTill the sign said Canadian border five miles from herePulled over to the south out the highway watched his taillights disappearedYeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with MariaWhile the band played The Night Of The Johnstown FloodI catch him when he's strayin' like any brother shouldMan turns his back on his family ain't no good
