Lyrics for Song: Sister's Coming Home
Lyrics for Album: Blue Kentucky Girl [Rhino Records] [2004]
(Willie Nelson)
Sister's coming home
Mama gonna let her sleep
The whole day long, the whole day long
Sister's coming home
Mama gonna let her sleep the whole day long.
Sister's coming home
Mama don't like the man
That done her wrong, that done her wrong
Sister's coming home
Mama don't like the man that done her wrong.
--- Instrumental ---
Down at the local beer joint dancin' on the rock'n roll
Sister likes to do it Lord, sister likes to move her soul
Down at the local beer joint dancin' on a hardwood floor
Her jeans fit a little bit tighter than they did before
Than they did before, than they did before.
Her jeans fit a little bit tighter than they did before
She likes to move her soul, she likes to move her soul.
--- Instrumental ---
Sister's coming home
Mama gonna let her sleep
The whole day long, the whole day long
Sister's coming home
Mama gonna let her sleep the whole day long.
Sister's coming home, sister's coming home
Sister's coming home, sister's coming home...
