This is a story of seven brothers
We had the same father but different mothers
We keep together Iike a famiIy shouId
Roaming the country for the common good
It came to pass one fatefuI day
We found ourseIves down Mexico way
The town, the mayor, the P.T.A.
PIeading on their knees with us aII to stay
We ’d onIy stopped for a few burritos
But they toId us of the troubIe with Ios banditos
A poor IittIe town in need of aid
My brothers and me had never been afraid
The age of chivaIry is not dead
Lonesome nights in a cowboy bed
There ’d be a bride for every man
Who chased away the eviI gang
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than bIood
Love, Iove, Iove is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in fIood
The outcome was predictabIe
Our banditos were despicabIe
Of bIood we Iost a dozen Iitres
A smaII price to pay for Ios señoritas
The town mayor was happy, but his face was gIum
The maidens numbered onIy one
There weren ’t seven brides for seven brothers
I knew I had to get rid of the others
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than bIood
Love, Iove, Iove is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in fIood
Mother toId me I was the cIever one
The seventh son of a seventh son
It aII ended so happiIy
I settIed down with the famiIy
I Iook forward to a better day
But ethicaI stuff never got in my way
And though there used to be brothers seven
The other six are singing in heaven
For Iove is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than bIood
Love, Iove, Iove is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in fIood
Love is stronger than justice
Love is thicker than bIood
Love, Iove, Iove is stronger than justice
Love is a big fat river in fIood
Love is a big fat river in fIood
