Some people said it was cocaine
Some people said it was gin
But I know the name of the motherfucker
That did my brother in

They put the last clean shirt on my brother, Bill
They put the last clean shirt on my brother, Bill

They found him in the backseat
Of an old abandoned Ford
When I touched the hand on my brother Bill
He was stiff as a running board

They put the last clean shirt on my brother, Bill
They put the last clean shirt on my brother, Bill

Preacher said he's gone
He's gone to a better world
He's through with his last fight, man
He's done loving his last girl

They put the last clean shirt on my brother, Bill
They put the last clean shirt on my brother, Bill
