Sing One For Sister — текст песни (Robert Earl Keen)

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)
