Sing One for Sister Robert Earl Keen
[D]Summer Sunday [A7]evenings [G]around the [A7]old home[D]place
[G]I would play my [D]guitar sister'd sing [A7]along
[D]Sister's smile would [A7]always light [G]up my [A7]daddy's [D]face
[G]When they'd get to [D]dancing, they'd [A7]dance all night 'till [D]dawn
CHORUS:
I would [G]sing one for [D]sister
[G]Play for [D]Papa
[G]Moan one for [D]Mama
and I'd [A7]cry one for [D]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)
