[G] My name is Joe [G] Roberts

I [G] always done an [G] honest job
[C] Honest as I [G] could
[G] Got a brother named [D7] Frankie
[D7] Frankie ain't no [G] good [G]

[G] Ever since we were [G] young kids

[G] Frankie's in trouble down - [D7] town [D7]
Well [G] if it was any [G] other man

But [G] sometimes when it's your [D7] brother
[D7] You look the other [G] way [G]

Chorus:
Yeah [C] me and Frankie laughin' and [G] drinkin'
Nothin' feels [C] better than blood on [G] blood
Takin' [C] turns dancin' with Ma - [G] ria
While the [G] band played "the [G] Night of the
Johnstown [D7] Flood" [D7]

[G] I catch him when he's [G] strayin'
[C] Like any brother [G] should
[G] Man turns his back on his [D7] family

[G] I got a farm de - [G] ferment,
Settled [G] down, took Maria for my [D7] wife [D7]
But them [G] wheat prices kept on [G] droppin'
Till it was [C] like we were gettin' [G] robbed
[G] Frankie came home in [D7] sixtyeight
[D7] Me, I took this [G] job

Chorus:
Yeah [C] me and Frankie laughin' and [G] drinkin'

Well the [G] night was like any [G] other
I got a [C] call `bout quarter to [G] nine
There was [G] trouble in a [G] roadhouse
Out on the Michigan [D7] line
There was a [G] kid on the floor [G] lookin' bad
[C] Bleedin' hard from his [G] head
There was a [G] girl cry'n' at a [D7] table
[D7] It was Frank, she [G] said [G]

[G] I ran out and I [G] jumped in my car
[C] Then I hit the [G] lights
[G] I musta done a [G] hundred and ten
Through [G] Michigan county that [D7] night [D7]
It was [G] down by the [G] crossroads,
[C] Out by Willow [G] bank
Seen a [G] Buick with O - [D7] hio plates
[D7] Behind the wheel was [G] Frank [G]
Well I [G] chased him through them [G] county roads
Till a [C] sign said "Canadian border [G] five miles from here"
[G] Pulled over the [D7] side of the highway
[D7] Watched his tail-lights [G] disappear

Chorus:
Yeah [C] me and Frankie laughin' and [G] drinkin'
Nothin' feels [C] better than blood on [G] blood
[C] Takin' turns dancin' with Ma - [G] ria
While the band played "the [G] Night of the
Johnstown [D7] Flood" [D7]

[G] I catch him when he's[G] strayin'
[C] Like any brother [G] should
Man turns his back on his [D7] family
He ain't no [G] [/] good//
