Who's Gonna' Help Brother Get Further

Who's Gonna' Help Brother Get Further - Lee Dorsey

Written by：Allen Toussaint

We may seem happy

Like everything's alright

From the outside lookin' in

Everything's uptight

But deep down inside

We're coverin' up the pain

It's an old thing it's a soul thing

But it's a real thing

Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother

Who's gonna help him get further

One another

One another

There's a old dude standin' on the corner

Waiting for a fox to pass

The only thing he's got to go by

Is this is where he saw her last

And there's old john two dollars in his pocket

Talkin' loud and thinks he's rich

And look for little fool too cool to go to school

Get a job in two days he quits

Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother

Who's gonna help him get further

One another is that the truth

One another yeah you're right

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah

Mama get up early early in the mornin'

Papa's already gone

Gone

Goin' out a working for half of what he's worth now

You know that's so wrong

What happen to the liberty bell

I heard so much about

Did it really ding dong

Ding dong

It must have dinged wrong

It didn't ding long

Pray tell what's gonna happen to brother

Who's gonna help him get further

One another is that the truth

One another yeah you're right

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
