Lyrics

Brother James

[Verse 1]

"Take my hand," he said to me

Follow now or you'll be damned

Let's go to the other side

Let's go to the other side

Great balls of simplicity

Great balls of simplicity

Brother James gave 'em to me

Brother James gave 'em to me

I don't need 'em anymore

Don't go knockin' at my door

I don't need 'em anymore

Don't go knockin' at my door

[Verse 2]

Take my hand, you might as well

We're going straight to hell

I don't wanna hang around

Won't you stick your head in the ground
