I Will Take Him Lyrics

A flat-footed traveler came in off the street
And opened up his carpet bag of Persian at my feet
And gathering up the remnant trampled `neath his heels
I`ve come for your brother he said pointin` to the fields

Blazing now flames of blue
Brace yourself I will take him from you

His face was not angelical saintly in the least
And I could tell from his accent he was from the East
And I took him for a cripple he walked with a cane
I`ve come for your brother he said pointin` to the plains

Blazing now flames of blue
Brace yourself I will take him from you
Take him from you

Ooh ooh ooh

Now the New World flags are flyin` ships are on alert
The orders sent out overseas mustn`t be overheard
While information flickers in her war machines
Me I have my orders and lamps of kerosene

Blazing now flames of blue
Brace yourself I will take him from you
I will take him from you
Ooh ooh ooh
I will take him from you
I will take him from you
I will take him
Ooh ooh ooh
