Sister Cry

Sister cry, from what you needed

Bought yourself things you could not use

Could be some man will come along and claim you

Could be you'll wind up in another town

Sister cry, count the stars

As many in the sky that passed you by

Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes

Somehow the changes made won't belong to you

Someone come along and carry you down

(And you called my name, I was so hungry then)

Someone come along and carry you down

(And could not see you)

Someone come along and carry you down

(And we don't talk at all, it's the hardest way)

Someone come along and carry you down

Sister cry, you been mistreated

It doesn't mean someone won't let you in

Could be some man will come along and claim you

Could be you'll wind up in another town

There's devils knocking at your door

But I could lead them all astray

Just don't matter what people say

Someone come along and carry you down

(And you called my name, I was so hungry then)

Someone come along and carry you down

(And could not see you)

Someone come along and carry you down

(And we don't talk at all, it's the hardest way)

Someone come along and carry you down

Sister cry, count the stars

As many in the sky that passed you by

Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes

Somehow the changes made won't belong to you

Could be up ahead you'll be seeing changes

Somehow the changes made won't belong to you
