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