incest and infanticide in deep Appalachia. thanks Cormac!

lyrics

Brother, oh brother, what have you done
Went in the woods, carrying our son
Came back alone, carrying our son
Brother, oh brother, what have you done

The Devil and his men come riding from the ground,
There’ll be death and sorrow whenever they’re around
They’ll cut out your soul and burn you to the ground
The Devil and his men come riding from the ground,

God damn you Clark, won’t you cut down those men
Hanging from the tree that grows on your land
They’ve been there for weeks by a rope around their chin
God damn you Clark, please cut down those men

Don’t dig up my grave looking for gold
Leave me to rest just peaceful and cold
You might find something that ain’t fit to be told
Don’t dig up my grave looking for gold

Brother, oh brother, what have you done
Went in the woods, carrying our son
Came back alone, carrying our son
Brother, oh brother, what have you done
