I have sinned so gravely Brother Brigham, Young I have sinned so gravely Brother That only you can save me Brother Brigham, Young only you can save me Brother Young
I have the temples secrets Brother Brigham, Brother Young The temple garments, oaths and secrets Young I have apostatized and doubted Brother Brigham, Young And borne my falsely Brother Young
And I have loved a Brother Brigham, Brother Young A woman in adultery Brother I have also wed a negress Brother Brigham, Young My fifth wife has some color Brigham
I now see that you're a prophet Brother Brigham, Brother A living, breathing Brother Young And now I believe the revelations Brigham, Brother Young I now believe revelations, every one
Even the ones beyond all reason Brother Brigham, Young the ones beyond all reason Brother Young For you're the own earthly prophet Brother Brigham, Brother Young And hes simply in our faith o Brigham Young
My only hope for exaltation Brigham, Brother Young My only chance for exaltation Young Is to send me o'er the rim of the basin Brother Brigham, Brother The rim of the Lake Basin Brother Young
For water cannot save me Brother Brigham, Young Baptismal cannot save me Brigham Young My sins are just too deep a dye o Brigham, Brother Young My are just too deep a stain o Brother Young
So send Avenging Angels Brother Brigham, Young Won't you send Danites Brother Young To my blood upon the earth o Brother Brigham, Brother Young I beg you spill my o Brother Young
And let its smoke ascend to heaven Brother Brother Young And let my breast be cut asunder Brother As an for my sins, a smoking incense Brother Young A blood atoning for my sinning Young
