The Reaper
Jimmy was drunk. Franklin, TN
He's seen the Tuscaloosa sunset
And thePlains of all the knee.
Found the girl in Mississippi
With his brother William May
Who was a whiskey sipping
Creep by night
The Man of GodBy day.
Ohh Jimmy Don't believe her
Don't shoot your brother down.
ButShe was out of money
And she'll run you out of town.
But Jimmy, shewas lying
To you after all this time.
Well, you not your brother's keeper.
You're the Reaper
He's coming down the delta with the Switchblade.
AtThe song with slow fire rising along Richmond Highway room
How wasStill ringing in his ears
What Willie did to me
These were streaming down
Her face back intensely
Ohh Jimmy, don't believe her
Don't shoot yourBrother down.
She was after all the money
To run you out of town.
SheWas lying to you after all this time?
Well, that's your brother's keeper.
You're the Reaper.
From the steel cap
Boots straight throughThe dog willies.
Allah, she sings down to her knees
She's praying hardWith his life
Let me see you right by now.
I'm gonna get them with hisEyes.
Ohh Jimmy Don' believe her
Don't shoot your brother down
She was after all theMoney
And she'll run you out of town
But Jimmy, she was lying to you
After all this time.
Well, you not your brother keeper.
You are the reaper
He's seen the Tuscaloosa sunset
And thePlains of all the knee.
Found the girl in Mississippi
With his brother William May
Who was a whiskey sipping
Creep by night
The Man of GodBy day.
Ohh Jimmy Don't believe her
Don't shoot your brother down.
ButShe was out of money
And she'll run you out of town.
But Jimmy, shewas lying
To you after all this time.
Well, you not your brother's keeper.
