Ricky Skaggs - Sis\' Draper lyrics

rate me

<br>

Kick your shoes off in the corner mama<br>

Tuck the babies all up snug<br>

Sis Draper's comin' over, we all gonna cut a rug<br>

When you see that lantern swingin' yonder<br>

Comin' up the Holler Road<br>

Them dogs'll get to barkin'<br>

Ought to tie em all up with a rope<br>

<br>

You boys better get in tune<br>

Sis Draper's gonna be here soon<br>

Don't shoot no dice nor get too tight<br>

If you're gonna pick with Sis tonight<br>

<br>

She came down from the Boston mountains<br>

There was lightnin' in the air<br>

Honey on them fiddle strings<br>

Magnolia in her hair<br>

She's a diamond in the rough<br>

If you can't see the shine that's tough<br>

Play all night for the likes of us<br>

Sis Draper's got the touch<br>

<br>

She'll play all night if she feels like it<br>

have some fruit punch if you spike it<br>

Sis don't care who don't like it<br>

See, ol' Sis has got a Hell of a bow arm on her<br>

<br>

She stepped up and sawed one off<br>

And uncle Cleve dropped his jaw<br>

Said she's the best I ever saw<br>

She must be from Arkansas<br>

<br>

I think Grandpa used to date her<br>

Grandma says she still hates her<br>

All the fellas stand up straighter<br>

In the presence of Sis Draper<br>

<br>

Sis Draper is the devil's daughter<br>

Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her<br>

Plays it like her mama taught her<br>

She's a travelin' Arkansawyer<br>

<br>

Put her fiddle in a box<br>

Said it's getting awful late<br>

She's on her way to Little Rock<br>

And Little Rock can't wait<br>

<br>

So we all stood out in the yard<br>

Hands all full of watermelon<br>

Watcher her leave watched her go<br>

Wishin' I was in that wagon<br>

<br>

Sis Draper is the devil's daughter<br>

Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her<br>

Plays it like her mama taught her<br>

She's a travelin' Arkansawyer <br>

<br>
