Glad somebody else has heard the Brothers Four version. Heard it when I was just a young'n. Intro verse was: King Brady was a crooked Policeman, One day he got shot, Most people say, He deserved what he got... Oh Duncan, Duncan was tending the bar When in walked Brady with his shiny star Duncan! (Yes?) Duncan! You're under arrest! Duncan shot a hole in Brady's chest! Oh Brady, Brady, Brady Don't you know you done wrong Come'n in to my baroom when the game was on You sprung my lock And you broke my door Now you're lying dead on the baroom floor! There were a couple of other verses, notably the "women runing home and dressing in red. But the one verse that seems to be missing from other versions is: Momma, Momma, I can hear a strange sound There's a bumpin and a thumpin coming up from the ground Well son, oh son, don't you have any fear That's the devil and he's yellin' I Got Brady Down Here!
