The Cold Stares - Jesus' Brother James Lyrics

The Cold Stares Lyrics

"Jesus' Brother James"

Jesus had a brother named James
James was a man with a last name
No matter how he tried to get ahead
James never raised a man from the dead

Momma, tell me why, tell me please
Ain't nobody ever notice me
When you get up to the pearly gates
Don't forget about your brother, James

Alright

Mountain high and the valley low
They all looked for the Lord to show
James came and spoke some words
As they're just laying there, undisturbed
Jesus walked upon the scene
My friend has died, what do you mean
Lord, do people have little faith
As they just crawled right from the grave

Momma, tell me why, tell me please
Ain't nobody ever notice me
When you get up to the pearly gates
Don't forget about your brother, James

Alright

Oh

Momma, tell me why, tell me please
Ain't nobody ever notice me
When you get up to the pearly gates
Don't forget about your brother, James

Alright
Don't forget about me, Lord
Yeah
