Sisters Lyrics

Remember the time when we two kin were reared

There was never a morsel but that it was shared

If the one babe was stung, 'twas the other would cry

There scarce was a crossed word and never a lie

Our people were drab and defeated like slaves

The light of their fathers went into the ?paves?

I took to the highway to find some relief

I never meant parting to put you to grief

(Chorus)

Sisters, we were sisters

Till love came between us and pulled us apart

We were sisters, we were sisters

Don't call me your sister and put a knife through my heart

Now you smile when you greet me, you put on a show

But it's slander you're talking as soon as you go

If your eye and my eye don't meet any more

Hold fast to your tongue when I've walked out the door

(Chorus)

You say that I'm different, don't hold me to blame

It's not to my grandeur, it's not to your shame

It's nothing of mine that I lay at your door

So take it or leave it, it's to heal, not to sore

(Chorus)

(Chorus
