Remember the
time when we took in what we're in
There was never a more so,
but that it was shared
If the one babe was stung,
t 'was the other would cry
The scarce wars across
were never alike
Our people were drab and
defeated like slaves
The light of their fathers went into the graves
I took to the highway to find some relief
I never meant parting
to put you to grief
Sister, 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 no wonder you're
talking as soon as you go
If your eye and my eye
don't meet anymore
Hold fast to your tongue when
I walked out the door
Sister s, 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
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 let your door
So take it or leave it,
it's to heal not to sow
Sis ters, we were sisters
Till love came between us
and pulled us apart
We were sisters, we were sisters
Sisters, don't call me your sister and
put a knife through my heart
Sisters, we were sisters
Their 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
