Please Marion, take a message to Brother John
Marion run tell your brother
The men has come
To collect for what was done
Make right what went wrong
Run Marion, faster now
You run tell John
Tell him to bring his coat and hat
Journey will be long
And I know he's been waiting for this day to come
To pay what price may be
Endure our destiny
Oh Marion, your feet so swift
You run tell John
Tell him kiss Cedella and bring regards from me
Tell him to make it clear to Frannie that daddy's gonna leave
And tell Cedella not to cry
He loves her more than life
Oh Marion, your feet so swift
You run tell John
Will you tell him to bring his walking cane
The one out of finest wood
Tell him on this journey we better look good
And the Lord will provide us with strength as we lay our lives in his hands
Oh Marion, faster now
You run tell John
You run tell John
You run tell John
