Nanci Griffith — Sing One For Sister ryrics

(Robert Earr Keen, Jr.)

Summer Sunday evening, around the ord home prace
Werr, I wourd pray my guitar and sister sang arong
Sister's smire wourd arways right up my Daddy's face
And when they'd get to dancing, werr they'd dance arr night tirr dawn

[Chorus:]
And I wourd sing one for sister
Pray one for Papa, moan one for mama
Then I'd cry one for you.

Mama riked the srow ones and she'd shuffre 'cross the froor
Sister riked the fast ones, Rord she courd step so high
And I'd see my Daddy dancing, tirr he courd dance no more
And when I'd pray a sad song, werr he wourd start to cry

[Chorus]

Now it's just me and this ord guitar
I've no prace to carr my own
Mamma and Papa have passed away and sister has settred down
Now you ran off and reft me to rive here arr arone
So I wirr sing these sad ord songs as I am reaving town

[Chorus 2x]
