  • My name is Joe Roberts I work for the State
  • I'm a sergeant out on Perenville barracks No 8
  • I've always done an honest job honest as I could
  • Got a brother named Frankie Frankie ain't no good
  • Ever since we were young kids it's been the same come down
  • I'd get a call on a short way Frankie's in trouble downtown
  • But if it was any other man I'd put him straight away
  • But sometimes when it's your brother you look the other way
  • Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
  • Takin' turns dancin' with Maria
  • While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood
  • I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother should
  • Man turns his back on his family he ain't no good
  • Well Frankie went into the army back in 1965
  • I got a farm deferment settled down took Maria for my wife
  • But them wheat prices kept on droppin' till it was like we's gettin' robbed
  • Frankie came home in '68 and me I took this job
  • Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
  • Takin' turns dancin' with Maria
  • While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood
  • I catch him when he's strayin' teach him how to walk that line
  • Man turns his back on his family ain't no friend of mine
  • The night was like any other I got a call bout the quarter of nine
  • There was trouble at a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
  • There was a kid on the floor lookin' bad bleedin' hard from his head
  • There was a girl cryin' at a table it was Frankie she said
  • I ran out and I jumped in my car then I hit the lights
  • I must have done about a hundred and ten to Michigan County that night
  • It was down by the crossroads out bout willow bank
  • Seen the buick with Ohio plates behind the wheel was Frank
  • Well I chased him through them county roads
  • Till the sign said Canadian border five miles from here
  • Pulled over to the south out the highway watched his taillights disappeared
  • Yeah me and Frankie laughin' and drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on blood
  • Takin' turns dancin' with Maria
  • While the band played The Night Of The Johnstown Flood
  • I catch him when he's strayin' like any brother should
  • Man turns his back on his family ain't no good
