Brother Jake Lyrics - Singles - Neville Brothers

Well, my Brother Jake 

Well, my Brother Jake is finally home 

Well, my Brother Jake 

Well, my Brother Jake is finally home 

 

Oh, my Brother Jake, he was on the run 

The man behind him, with a Gatling gun 

I remember that morning when he hopped that freight 

He was headed west, oh Lord, he couldn't be late 

 

Old Brother Jake had to ride the rail 

Or get locked up in the Parish jail 

He had a lot of weight upon his chest 

The sheriff had a warrant for his arrest 

 

He grabbed the train and headed east 

Would his life of running never cease 

He hopped off the train at New York City 

Only to find, ain't no kind of pity

Well, my Brother Jake 

Well, my Brother Jake is finally home 

Well, my Brother Jake 

Well, my Brother Jake is finally home 

 

He finally made it, back to New Orleans 

Man, his hometown, sure enough was mean 

Back in his jungle, where he lived his life 

Where the law of the land, it was a gun and a knife 

 

Late one night, down on the avenue 

That's where Brother Jake's dying breath was drew 

He thought his home was with family and friends 

Somebody caught him off guard and brought his life to an end 

 

Well, my Brother Jake 

Well, my Brother Jake is finally home 

Well, my Brother Jake 

Well, my Brother Jake is finally home
