[Verse] Am g Sis Draper had a guitar player Am Named Kentucky Sue C G And everywhere old Sis played Am Sue was picking too Am
They worked their way from Gtown to town Am
Fiddled their way out west C
And every place she Gblew through Am
They said she was the best
AmThey played the dances, played the bars GBeneath the Western stars
AmSis was getting on in years GShe lived it pretty hard AmBurned both ends of the candle E7And broke many a heart
Now out in Old New Mexico Snowstorm coming on They thought theyâd just wait it out And play the El Patron Now some old gal with coal black eyes Was in a jealous tiff She was quite sure her old man Was slipping round with Sis She was a waitress at the El Patron Out on the edge of town She poisoned Sisâs whiskey And Sis just drank it down Sis started feeling poorly So she laid her fiddle down Out behind the El Patron They dug a shallow grave Laid her down beneath the ground The fiddle in the coffin case The fiddle in the coffin case Kentucky Sue played Shady Grove On her old beat-up guitar Tears rolling down her face She took it pretty hard Now somewhere in the distance You could hear the mission bells Some folks go to heaven Some folks go to hell Sis Draper went to Arkansas Thatâs all there is to tell
