Bm Asus4 C G
A flat-footed traveler came in off the street

And opened up his carpet bag of Persian at my feet

And gathering up the amaranth trampled 'neath his heels
Bm Asus4 C Em
I've come for your brother he said pointin' to the fields

Em D Em
Blazing now flames of blue
Em D G
Brace yourself I will take him from you

Bm Asus4 C G
His face was not angelical saintly in the least
Bm Asus4 C G
And I could tell from his accent he was from the East

And I took him for a cripple he walked with a cane

I've come for your brother he said pointin' to the plains

Me I have my orders and lamps of kerosene
