Track bySir Peter Pears/Benjamin Britten
Well my brother he don't know me And my sister she cold as ice Well my brother he don't know me And my sister she cold as ice She died inside a long time ago And since then she ain't been right ------ Well my brother talkin' at me And i just look to the sky Trying to tell me Time and time again How to do things right Don't he know i'm a grown man Let me live my life Well my brother he don't know me And sister she cold as ice Well my brother he don't know me And sister she cold as ice She done got so bitter Now she can't even think right ------- See she had good man once a upon a time I don't know what happened She had another man another time They got married and they start scrappin' Then she had some other things That were going on in her life I can't speak for that girl All i know is that she ain't right My brother he don't know me And my sister she cold as ice My brother he don't know me And sister she cold as ice Maybe one day we'll get it together But for now it just ain't right
