Animals, The - Brother Bill (The Last Clean Shirt) Lyrics
Well some people said it was cocaine
Well people claim it was gin
Well I know the girl and the dwell house man
That done my brother in
On my poor brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
You know they found him in the back seat
Of an old abandoned Ford
When I touched the hand of my brother Bill
It was as stiff as a running board
They put the last clean shirt
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
The preacher said, he's gone now
Gone to another place
As they lowered him down into the ground
I felt a tear trickle down my face
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
They put the last clean shirt
On my poor brother Bill
The preacher said, he's gone now
Gone to another place
They lowered him down into the ground
I felt a tear trickle down my face

Animals, The Brother Bill (The Last Clean Shirt) Comments
this is totally my old man, I can still trigger him out of deep dementia with this tune, my deepest thanks for posting this!
Lieber and Stoller and Clyde Otis get writing credit on this hit.
I saw them during their reunion tour for this album in 1977 in Worc, MA. Always loved the Animals since I first heard them doing House of the Rising Sun in 1964 on WORC 1310. This song was played on WBCN 104.1 Boston.
YOU GERALD SAY THAT'S RAYMOND
I had the 8 trck they stole it it was so good. Lol
Burdon and The Animals Wonderful wowwwwwwwwwwwwww
Time to go grave robbing
Got this by Rufus Thomas. :-)
ERIC BURDON....LO MAS....MARAVILLOSO.
Are they the best white blues band?
One of the best of not the best.
What an enduring song 45 years on! Cheers...
It was the last clean shirt!!!!
I just adore The Animals. This song is amazing. Love it. And I love every song on the album too.
I agree 100%!!! One of the best Animals's albums!
I had this album and played it very often as a teen. I remember this track in particular but have not heard it in many years. Thank you for posting!
Finally! I've been thinking about this tune for years after hearing it only once on the radio... and finally found it again. Thanks for posting.
Precious! Thanks for posting...
Except for one or two of their 'Greatest Hits' albums, I agree.
This came out just as I was gettin into the animals. I love this album. Def a desert island pick :)
Best White Black Vocal -Mr.Eric Burdon!!
esto es lo mejor ¡hey man¡ Brother bill
Great song! Just a bouncy blues, but such a deep subtext...or something. Great.
does anybody know what software slould be used so as to create a clip like this one?
thanks I been looking for this song!! Was in my dads old record collection!
WHAT A TREASURE!! I didn't think I'd ever hear this one again. I sure hope someone's got Many Rivers to Cross.
