Memphis: A New Musical movie - She's My Sister lyrics
rate meDELRAY:
Now I didn't mean to call you a redneck-son-of-a-,
bitch
Though you are a redneck-son-of-a-bitch.
I know you didn't mean to call my club a crappy little club,
Though I guess it is a crappy little club.
My parents died young, they died poor.
They left me with my sister not much more.
She had this voice like none I knew,
So I opened up my club, what else could I do?
For my sister. My little sister.
She sang her song and they customers came-
HUEY:
I came from nothin'.
DELRAY:
We made some money and I made me a name!
HUEY:
I'll make her somethin'.
DELRAY:
You are stealing this music-
HUEY:
That ain't for you to say!
DELRAY:
Hey, I don't blame ya, brother, it's the American way!
HUEY:
No, no, there's something you just don't understand!
DELRAY:
Oh yeah, I understand you're a dangerous man!
HUEY:
I love your sister, really I do.
DELRAY:
Don't ever let me hear those words come out of you!
Not here in Memphis-
The danger is deep that you wanna put her in,
I don't care about you but she's my sister!
I'm a God-fearing man, a Christian through and through,
But you can bet I'll protect my baby sister!
Oh-oh-oh, she's my one and only flesh and blood!
Be careful with the one I love!
She's my sister!
