  A                         D                A

  My brother and I were out hunting

     E

  A stray bullet made him its mark

  D                                        A

  I carried him back to the cabin

  E                                                A                  

  His life nothing more than a spark

  E                                           A

  He whispered to me very softly

                                             E

  Dear brother, I'm going away

             A            D                A

  So listen and come to me closely

  E                                                     A

  There's so much that I have to say

  

  My sweetheart, her dear name is Sally

  Her mother and father have died

  She's waiting alone in the valley

  When I left her, oh how she cried

  

  I promised to bring her my fortune

  Return to the valley and wed

  But I've had a call from my maker

  So I'll have to go there instead

  

  He gave me the ring he had bought her

  And told of the plans they had made

  He spoke of how long she had waited

  And for his return, how she prayed

  

  He gave me a small piece of paper

  The will he had made for this day

  I promised to do as he wanted

  The Good Lord would show me the way

  

  He gave me his home in the valley

  And all of the money he had

  He asked me to marry his Sally

  And promise she'd never be sad

  

  But once long ago we were rivals

  For I loved her too from the start

  I'd made up my mind to stay single

  For Sally had broken my heart

  

  My dear brother went up to heaven

  And I went to our valley home

  But Sally had married another

  So what's left for me but to roam?

  

  I pray the good Lord up above me

  To keep Brother's faith in me still

  His Sally was fickle, unfaithful

  That's why I broke my brother's will.
