Sing One for Sisiter
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.
CSummer Sunday G7evenings Faround the G7old homeCplace
FI would play my Cguitar sister'd sing G7along
CSister's smile would G7always light Fup my G7daddy's Cface
FWhen they'd get to Cdancing, they'd G7dance all night 'till Cdawn
CHORUS:
I would Fsing one for Csister
FPlay for CPapa
FMoan one for CMama
and I'd G7cry one for Cyou
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):
