All My Brothers Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Long

sleeping through the daytime like a child 

up right through the night time running wild 

thinking I will never be as strong as the day is long 

I saw the coward day that sunk the sun 

hiding in the house where we belong 

I saw the blood flow red and it ran long 

and all my brothers 

It's a swift turning clock we travel on 

from boy to man, from four to one 

some of us who rest and grow 

don't need to know, don't need to know 

I still hear them all summer long 

will they let me join them one day 

I still hear them all summer long 

will they turn me away 

we lost three fighting Booker in Virginia 

one came back with a body full of holes 

I wouldn't let my mother come and see him 

all bound in blood and gold 

it's a long lonely night we gaze upon 

when all the stars are dead and gone 

the moon it shines on all our heads 

and to the west, and to the west
