My name is Joe Roberts I work for the stateI'm a
sergeant out of Perrineville barracks number 8I always
done an honest job as honest as I couldI got a brother
named Franky and Franky ain't no goodNow ever
since we was young kids it's been the same come downI
get a call over the radio Franky's in trouble downtownWell if it was any other man, I'd put him straight
awayBut when it's your brother sometimes you look the
other wayMe and Franky laughin' and
drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played
"Night of the Johnstown Flood"I catch him when he's
strayin' like any brother wouldMan turns his back on
his family well he just ain't no goodWell
Franky went in the army back in 1965 I got a farm deferment
settled down took Maria for my wifeBut them wheat prices
kept on droppin' till it was like we were gettin'
robbedFranky came home in '68 and me I took this
jobYea we're laughin' and drinkin'
nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin'
turns dancin' with Maria as the band played "Night of the
Johnstown Flood"I catch him when he's strayin',
teach him how to walk that lineMan turns his back on his
family he ain't no friend of mineThe night was
like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nineThere was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan lineThere was a kid lyin' on the floor lookin' bad,
bleedin' hard from his head there was a girl cryin' at
a table, it was Frank they saidWell I went out and I
jumped in my car and I hit the lightsI must of done 110
through Michigan county that nightIt was out at the
crossroads down round Willow bankSeen a Buick with Ohio
plates behind the wheel was FrankWell I chased him through
them county roads till a sign said Canadian border 5 miles from
hereI pulled over the side of the highway and watched his
taillights disappearMe and Franky laughin' and
drinkin' nothin' feels better than blood on bloodTakin' turns dancin' with Maria as the band played
"Night of the Johnstown Flood"I catch him when he's
strayin' like any brother wouldMan turns his back on
his family well he just ain't no good
