The Brandon Brothers

# THE BRANDON BROTHERS

*Outlaw Country Ballad*

### [Verse 1]

They called him Doc Brandon,

Rode the border line,

His name was feared in every town,

His crimes became legend over time.

A Colt from the old war,

Double-barrel slung across his saddle,

With a bounty on his head,

He was born to ride and battle.

### [Pre-Chorus]

They took his land at daylight,

Put a price upon his name,

Now he rides beneath the moon,

While the lawmen chase his trail.

### [Chorus]

**Ride, ride, Brandon Gang!**

**Three blood brothers, three iron bangs!**

Doc rides first, Bart brings pain,

Duke laughs loud in the pouring rain!

**Hey-oh, let the six-guns sing!**

**Hey-oh, it's the Brandon Gang!**

From the border to the railroad line,

**Three Brandon brothers till the end of time!**

### [Verse 2 — The Brothers]

Black Bart's got a mean old stare,

And trouble follows everywhere,

He's the brother no one dares provoke,

A cold-eyed man who never jokes.

Duke Brandon's got a crooked grin,

Always laughing when trouble begins,

Acts the fool and plays the clown,

But he's the deadliest shot around.

Doc rides first, the gang rides near,

Three brothers every town will fear,

Gold snake cane and dead man's hand,

Their names are feared across the land.

### [Chorus]

**Ride, ride, Brandon Gang!**

**Three blood brothers, three iron bangs!**

Doc rides first, Bart brings pain,

Duke laughs loud in the pouring rain!

**Hey-oh, let the six-guns sing!**

**Hey-oh, it's the Brandon Gang!**

From the border to the railroad line,

**Three Brandon brothers till the end of time!**

### [Verse 3 — Marshal Johnson]

Marshal Johnson rode to town,

Swore he'd bring the Brandon boys down,

Doc just tipped his hat and smiled,

Said, "You'll be chasing me a while."

At high noon the gunshots rang,

Echoed through the streets again,

Bart stood firm, and Duke rode free,

Then all three vanished from the scene.

Johnson swore he'd hunt them down,

But they'd be long gone from town.

### [Chorus]

**Ride, ride, Brandon Gang!**

**Three blood brothers, three iron bangs!**

Doc rides first, Bart brings pain,

Duke laughs loud in the pouring rain!

**Hey-oh, let the six-guns sing!**

**Hey-oh, it's the Brandon Gang!**

From the border to the railroad line,

**Three Brandon brothers till the end of time!**

### [Bridge — Three Brothers]

Three brothers, one family name,

Three outlaws chasing fortune and fame,

Doc leads on, Bart brings fear,

Duke keeps laughing when danger's near.

They rob the banks and raid the trains,

Leave their tracks across the plains,

No law can make these outlaws kneel,

The Brandon Gang is the real deal.

### [Final Chorus — Full Band]

**Ride, ride, Brandon Gang!**

**Three blood brothers, three iron bangs!**

Doc rides first, Bart brings pain,

Duke laughs loud in the pouring rain!

**Hey-oh, let the six-guns sing!**

**Hey-oh, it's the Brandon Gang!**

From the border to the railroad line,

**Three Brandon brothers till the end of time!**

### [Outro — Slow and Haunting]

Three black horses, fading light,

Three dark shadows in the night,

Doc and Bart and Duke ride on,

Long after the law has gone.

Three brothers, one outlaw name...

**The Brandon Gang rides on again!**
