(Good brother John) On the express bus to the Boot
Camp John came down the isle All I could see in
the inky black night was a warm but weary smile He
said friend could I sit here by you I cussed him
as he sat down Because everything anybody talk me
made me hate this stranger John John my brother
John my friend I cussed him once and I cussed him
again John stood by me to the very end good
brother John Two GI's on an airplane headed for a
distant place John was honest and friendly till I
cussed him and spit in his face Well I thought I'd
be a dead man before John turned loose of me He
said you're nothin' but a tomfool whiteman but I
swear I'm gonna make you see John my brother John
my friend he never borrowed more than he could
land John stood by me to the very end good brother
John Two months later in the battle in the place
that I couldn't even name John laid beside me with

a rifle and I hated him just the same Then the
earth flew up beneath me in a second my eyes were
gone Then a hand fell on my shoulder and a voice
said it's me John (Good brother John good brother
John) I said get away boy who needs you he said
frind you're comin' with me Now that somebody's
made you blind maybe you can learn to see Then he
picked me up on his shoulders and lifted me off of
the ground But when he stood up straight as a pine
tree somebody shot him down John my brother John
my friend gave up his soul to the jumble wind John
stood by me to the very end good brother John Now
I make my way in the darkness but one thing I
clearly see God's good world is full of fine men
and they don't all look like me That lesson cost
John his poor life while I can't stumbling back
Lord if I'd've been blind from the very first I'd
never known John was black John my brother John my
friend I cussed him once and I cussed him again
John stood by me to the very end good brother John
John my brother John my friend he never borrowed
more than he could land John stood by me to the
very end good brother John Good brother John good
brother John good brother John
