lyrics

My Brother James
Has ten years on me
He's a good and honest man
Engaged in labour in the city
And he sends us what he can

And on the night before my wedding
He sent a gown of finest cloth
And I had not the heart to ask him
Why all the buttons had come off

And when our father
He owed money
To some mean and desperate men
Brother James went round to see them
And we'll not seem them again

And on a bright midsummer's morning
Came a knocking at my door
They had come for Brother James
And he must answer to the court

How the judge viewed him so sternly
But then on the second day
Half the jury men were limping
And the judge dismissed the case

And for a time
We did not see him
Though the news was seldom good
Soon the village came a calling
For I was his only blood

My Brother James (Oh Brother James)
They beat me senseless
And they've tied me to a tree (To the rowan tree)
How I always stood up for you
Won't you come and stand for me?

And now they've built a fire below me
Put a bag upon my head
Then a voice said, "Coming Brother"
Soon the villagers were dead

My Brother James has ten years on me
We are good and honest men
I've gone to join him in the city
And you'll not see us again
