Brother, Do You Know the Road?

Lyrics
Oh, hey there brother, don't you know the road? Yes, my brother, I know the road Oh, hey there brother, don't you know the road? Yes, my brother, I know the road There was no one good, and I was all alone Yes, my brother, I know the road Had a big black dog lay beside my door Yes, my brother, I know the road And a figure spoke in a mournful way Yes, my brother, I know the road So I hold that fiddle with my hands Yes, my brother, I know the road Then the fiddler said 'Hey now, hey now' Yes, my brother, I know the road Though not all the tunes are playin' like that Yes, my brother, I know the road And though the storm's passed over And the sun is in its place Whoa, it took a long time And the man, how I know him [break] The fiddler, fiddler take up your bow Yes, my brother, I know the road Play me a song that I don't know Yes, my brother, I know the road The winged daughter on my hand Yes, my brother, I know the road There ain't nothin' that I will hum in fear Yes, my brother, I know the road Came a lonesome some song, patient as life Yes, my brother, I know the road Like the gladness in my daddy's eye Yes, my brother, I know the road Like when I was a child, just a little boy Yes, my brother, I know the road The one within his crook of arm Yes, my brother, I know the road And though the storm's passed over And the sun is in its place Whoa, it took a long time And the man, how I know him [break] Oh hey there brother, don't you know the road? Yes, my brother, I know the road Oh hey there brother, don't you know, don't you know the road? Yes, my brother, I know the road There was no one good, and I was all alone Yes, my brother, I know the road And a big black dog laid beside my door Yes, my brother, I know the road
