Robert Earl Keen - Sing One For Sister lyrics

rate me

Summer Sunday evenings around the old home place

I would play my guitar sister'd sing along

Sister's smile would always light up my daddy's face

When they'd get to dancing, they'd dance all night 'till dawn

Chorus:

I would sing one for sister

Play for Papa

Moan one for Mama

And I'd cry one for you

Mama liked the slow ones. She'd shuffle 'cross the floor

Sister liked the fast ones 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:

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)
