Sing One For Sister lyrics
Song information
Artist: Robert Earl Keen Album: West Textures
Lyrics
Summer sunday evenings around the old home place I would play my guitar sister'd sing along Sister's smile would always light up my daddy's face When they'd get to dancing, they'd dance all night 'till dawn
Chorus: I would sing one for sister Play for papa Moan one for mama And I'd cry one for you
Mama liked the slow ones. she'd shuffle 'cross the floor Sister liked the fast ones lord she could step so high I could see my daddy dancing "til he could dance no more When I'd play a sad song you would start to cry
Chorus:
Now its just me and this old guitar I've no place to call my own Mama and papa have passed away, sister's settled down You ran off and left me to live here all alone Now all I play is sad old songs since your leavin' town
Chorus (x2)
