Sing One for Sisiter
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.
DSummer Sunday A7evenings Garound the A7old homeDplace
GI would play my Dguitar sister'd sing A7along
DSister's smile would A7always light Gup my A7daddy's Dface
GWhen they'd get to Ddancing, they'd A7dance all night 'till Ddawn
CHORUS:
I would Gsing one for Dsister
GPlay for DPapa
GMoan one for DMama
and I'd A7cry one for Dyou
Mama liked the slow one's. She'd shuffle 'cross the floor
Sister liked the fast one's 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:
Break:
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):
