Miss Celie's Blues (Sister) Text

[Intro]
Mm-mhm, mhm
Mm-mhm, mhm

[Verse 1]
Sister, you've been on my mind
Oh, sister, we’re two of a kind
So, sister, I'm keepin' my eyes on you
I bet you think I don’t know nothing
But singin' the blues
Oh, sister, have I got news for you
I'm somethin'
I hope you think that you're something too

[Bridge]
Oh, scufflin', I been up that lonesome road
And I've seen a lot of suns goin' down
Oh, but trust me
No low life’s gonna run me around
So let me tell you something

[Verse 2]
Sister, remember you name
No twister gonna steal your stuff away
My sister, we sure ain’t got a whole lot of time
So shake yo' shimmy, sister
’Cause, honey, the Shug is feeling fine
Oh, yeah
