[ti:My Brother's Will] [ar:The Louvin Brothers] [al:Alabama] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]My Brother's Will - Louvin Brothers [00:06.27]My brother and I were out hunting [00:10.53]A stray bullet made him its mark [00:14.79]I carried him back to the cabin [00:19.07]His life nothing more than a spark [00:23.33]He whispered to me very softly [00:27.63]Dear brother I'm going away [00:31.96]So listen and come to me closely [00:36.30]There's so much that I have to say [00:40.71]My sweetheart her dear name is Sally [00:45.05]Her mother and father have died [00:49.35]She's waiting alone in the valley [00:53.67]When I left her oh how she cried [00:58.18]I promised to bring her my fortune [01:02.40]Return to the valley and wed [01:06.80]But I've had a call from my maker [01:11.12]So I'll have to go there instead [01:15.09] [01:20.01]He gave me the ring he had bought her [01:24.26]And told of the plans they had made [01:28.63]He spoke of how long she had waited [01:32.92]And for his return how she prayed [01:37.42]He gave me a small piece of paper [01:41.69]The will he had made for this day [01:46.18]I promised to do as he wanted [01:50.50]The Good Lord would show me the way [01:54.46] [01:54.98]He gave me his home in the valley [01:59.36]And all of the money he had [02:03.70]He asked me to marry his Sally [02:08.07]And promise she'd never be sad [02:12.64]But once long ago we were rivals [02:16.86]For I loved her too from the start [02:21.30]I'd made up my mind to stay single [02:25.70]For Sally had broken my heart [02:29.77] [02:35.63]My dear brother went up to heaven [02:39.95]And I went to our valley home [02:44.40]But Sally had married another [02:48.74]So what's left for me but to roam [02:53.29]I pray the good Lord up above me [02:57.58]To keep Brother's faith in me still [03:02.05]His Sally was fickle unfaithful [03:06.35]That's why I broke my brother's will
