Sister
You've been on my mind
Sister
We're two of a kind
So sister
I'm keepin' my eyes on you
I betcha think I don't know nothin'
But singin' the blues
Oh sister
Have I got news for you
I'm somethin'
I hope you think that
You're somethin' too
Scufflin'
I been up lomesone road
And I seen a lot of suns goin' down
Oh, but trust me
Now low life's gonna run me around
So let me tell you something sister

Remember your name
Sister
Gonna steal your stuff away
My sister
Sho' ain't got a whole lot of time
So shake you shimmy, sister
'Cause honey I sure is feelin' fine
