Sing One For Sister

Robert Earl Keen


Tom: D

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
