Biography:
The Stanley Brothers (Carter Stanley, 1925-1966, and Ralph Stanley, 1927-2016) were an American bluegrass duo originally hailing from Dickenson County, Virginia. The family soon moved to McClure, Virginia, where their parents worked a small farm in the Clinch Mountains. Music was a part of their lives from the word go, as they were able to listen to the likes of The Monroe Brothers, Mainer's Mountaineers, and other artists featured on the Grand Ole Opry radio program.

[Verse]
C F C
There's a story so unkind in the Holy book we find
G7
And it tells how Jesus stood alone one day
C F C
False accused and there condemned yet they found no fault with Him
G7 C
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
[Chorus]
C F C
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
C F C
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
G7 C
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
[Verse]
C F C
In the common judgment hall he was mocked and scorned by all
G7
And a tear of sorrow fell upon His cheek
C F C
Soldiers of the wicked man smote Him with their evil hand
G7 C
The Man who wore the scarlet purple robe
[Chorus]
C F C
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
C F C
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
G7 C
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
[Verse]
C F C
Words of truth that day were plain from the lips of Pilate came
G7
In this man I find no reason He should die
C F C
But the multitudes replied let Him now be crucified
G7 C
The man who wore the scarlet purple robe
[Chorus]
C F C
Purple robe my Savior wore oh the shame for me he bore
G7
As He stood alone, forsaken on that day
C F C
And they placed upon His head piercing thorns and blood stained red
G7 C
His raiment was a scarlet purple robe
[Outro]
C F C
Oh the River Of Jordan is many miles away
G7
And this mighty river I may never see
C F C
But I'll find myself an alter in an old fashioned church
G7 C
And my River Of Jordan that will be
C F C
