Cooper S Lament lyrics

by Arlo Guthrie

Hey brothers, hear me call
It ain`t that I had to fall
Wasn`t no one`s fault last night
When I looked up and felt the light

Here`s hoping you`ll understand
I want to fell like a natural man
Get up early in the morning to do what I can
You can`t help no one with money
If you can`t with your hands

And you got to be there brothers, yes you do
If the world is turning under you
Ain`t no good to sit around
And bring it up or down
You got to be there brothers, yes you do

Hey brothers, now and then
There`s something that oughta move you
More than a pen
You don`t need no school or knowledge
You`ve got something else to lend
And all the people in the world
Can make it better again

And it ain`t easy, yes I know
It`s a hard and rugged road
Don`t be swindled, don`t be fooled
Just be honest and stay cool

`Cause you got to be there brothers, yes you do
If the world is turning under you
Ain`t no good to sit around
And bring it up or down
You got to be there brothers, yes you do
