Brother Bill (Last Clean Shirt) Lyrics

Some People say it was cocaine
Some people say it was gin
But I know the name of the bothersome dude
Who did my brother in

They put the last clean shirt on my brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt on my brother Bill

You know they found him in the back seat
Of an old abandoned Ford
When I touched the hand of my brother Bill
It was stiff as a running board

They put the last clean shirt on my brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt on my brother Bill

Preacher says he's gone
Gone to a better world
He's through with his last fight man
He's done lovin' on his last girl

They put the last clean shirt on my brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt on my brother Bill

They put the last clean shirt
On my brother Bill
That's all my family had left
All left in his will
Well there's one clean shirt
Last clean shirt
They put it all my brother
When they laid him down
As a King in the ground

Last clean shirt!
