歌曲歌詞
Bishop Cody's last request was wired across the sea
Find my wandering brother boys
And bring him home to me
I knew him as an infant
As a meek and trusting child
But lately I've had sad reports
That my brother is running wild
Oh bring my brother home to me
With my own eyes I've got to see
Just what he's into
Bishop Cody's last request received especial care
The trail said California and they found his brother there
They found him in an alley in a sea of broken glass
They plucked him from the traffic
Of the hustlers tripping past
Oh sir you're brother's eyes are dim
We've come to take you home to him
He needs to see you
Bishop Cody's last request was told in great detail
The messengers were desperate men
They had not come to fail
They pressed their case with fervor
Their urgency was clear
But Bishop Cody's brother smiled
And did not seem to hear
Give the Bishop my regards
Thanks for all the birthday cards
He never failed me
Bishop Cody's messengers were left with no recourse
The situation plainly called for a little use of force
