les smoked and drank whiskey
Nobody like him in all my kin
He died in a small town so far back
hit him maybe a heart attack
That was a drag on my grandma you know
She never really forgave him for that
Most every year on Christmas Day
My dad and me go down where he lay
I don't know what kind of man he'd be
Grandmama married a man she found
Even fore Grandaddy hit the ground
Took 45 years but what do you know
He turned that right around
Grandma would tell him about the family
How they come over from Germany
Oma and Opa was hard folks though
You know how them Germans can be
With the guitars tuned to the
Nobody sings down low and sweet
Not like my brother and me
My great grandpappy on my
Made a whole lot of money before he died
And that was a matter of pride
Never wondered where great
He lit a cigar neath a oxygen tent
A man of secrets I'll never know
They're all livin like they should
But all the money in the world
Their daughter went and married
What do they say about the
You can take the boy out of Bandera
I don't know but man it's true
Those bright lights will get you down
I'm gonna stay on the old
I don't know what the hell they see
But they like my brother and me
But they like my brother and me
They like my brother a little more
But they like my brother and me
We go down to the Spur some night
neath the pale moon light
Just like my brother and me
Just like my brother and me
Don't mess my with mt brother and me
