Brother John is gone
Well, Brother (brother), brother (brother)
Brother John is gone
I remember that morning, I remember it well

I remember that morning my Brother John fell
Brother John is gone
Well, that corner he died on, the battlefield
Brother John is gone
The rest of his gang won't bow, they won't kneel
Brother John is gone
(Keep on singing 'bout)
Brother (brother), brother (brother)

Brother John is gone
He set a mighty goody fire on Mardi Gras day
Brother John is gone
And whoever wasn't ready to get out the way
Brother John is gone
Well, he was a mighty, mighty brave with a heart of steel
Brother John is gone
But he never would bow and he never would kneel
Brother John is gone
