One-Dog Brown Lyrics by The Brandos

Gunfire at Midnight

1992

One-Dog Brown was a crazy man
Lived in the hills in back of my land
Had a Rebel flag and a half-dead dog
Showed no fear of man nor God
With a man like that you just can't tell
No one's left who knew him well
With a man like that it might be true
But he won't tell me
And he won't tell you
Sundown came I'd hear him sing
All about love and the pain it brings
Story was told that he killed his wife
Burled her bones in the full moonlight
With a man like that you just can't tell
No one's left who knew him well
With a man like that it might be true
But hе won't tell me
And he won't tеll you
Winter came 'round and I fell sick
My fever raged and I was fading quick
Had a crazy dream about One-Dog Brown
Standin' by me as the sun went down
He told me boy, "I just saved your life"
Then disappeared in the full moonlight
When I hear him singin' up on the hill
I just don't know and I wonder still
With a man like that you just can't tell
No one's left who knew him well
With a man like that it might be true
But he won't tell me
And he won't tell you
Now he won't tell you
