oh brother where do we go we re aching boys on bloody snow i m walking forward my hands are bound the chains they rub and weigh me down the sun shines out through heaven s clouds it burns my heart it s rays profound and jesus takes me he breaks my chains for the woman s crown and i m not lovely i m not the man with the aching sound i m alright i m alright i m alright it s over now the sun shines down through heaven s clouds she breaks away and cuts me down but i don t want to be the last the last dead soldier the pastor found and jesus takes me he breaks my chains for the woman s crown and when i get there tuolumne will she be there awaiting me i m alright i m alright i m alright it s over now
