Sister's smile would always light up my daddy's face
When they'd get to dancing, they'd dance all night 'till dawn
CHORUS:
I would sing one for sister
Play for Papa
Moan one for Mama
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
