Sing One for Sisiter
by Robert Earl Keen Jr.

D             A7       G          A7      D
Summer Sunday evenings around the old homeplace
G               D                    A7
I would play my guitar sister'd sing along
D                    A7           G     A7      D
Sister's smile would always light up my daddy's face
G                  D               A7                    D
When they'd get to dancing, they'd dance all night 'till dawn


CHORUS:
        G            D
I would sing one for sister
G        D
Play for Papa
G            D
Moan one for Mama
        A7          D
and I'd cry one for you


Mama liked the slow one's. She'd shuffle 'cross the floor
Sister liked the fast one's 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:

Break:

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):
