The song is a seen as a depiction of the biblical story of Cain and Abel,the first two sons of Adam in which Cain murders Able due to jealousy for God favours Abel’s sacrifice to Cain’s

“The Good Son” fits the theme of family and the effects of tragedy like on “The Weeping Song”.

The Good Son Lyrics

[Chorus]
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man is gone

[Verse 1]
The good son walks into the field
He is a tiller, he has a tiller's hands
But deep down in his heart now
He's laid down his queer plans
Against his brother and against his family
Yet he worships his brother
And he worships his mother
But it's his father, he says, is an unfair man
The good son
The good son
The good son

[Verse 2]
The good son has sat and often wept
Beneath a malign star by which the good son's kept
And the night-time in which he's wrapped
Speaks of good now, and it speaks of evil
And he calls to his mother
And he calls to his father
But they are deaf in the shadows
Of his brother's truancy
The good son
The good son
The good son
The good son
And he curses his mother
And he curses his father
And he curses his virtue like an unclean thing
The good son
The good son
The good son

[Chorus]
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man, yeah
One more man gone (is gone)
One more man gone (is gone)
One more man (is gone)
One more man gone (is gone)
One more man gone (one more man is gone)
One more man
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man is gone
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man is gone, yeah, yeah
One more man gone
One more man gone
One more man gone

The good son (one more man gone)
The good son (one more man gone)
The good son now is gone (one more man)
The good son (one more man gone)
The good son (one more man gone)
The good son now is gone (one more man)
One more man gone
One more man gone (one more man)
The good son
The good son
The good son
The good son
