Miss Celie's Blues Songtext / Lyric

sister, you've been on my mind
sister, we're two of a kind
so, sister, I'm keepin' my eye on you

I betcha think I don't know nothin'

but singin' the blues, oh, sister
have I got news for you, I'm something
I hope you think that you're something too

scufflin', I been up that lonesome road
and I seen alot of suns going down
oh, but trust me
no low life's gonna run me around

so let me tell you something sister
remember your name, no twister
gonna streal your stuff away, my sister
we sho' ain't got a whole lot of time

so-o shake your shimmy sister
'cause honey, I'm feelin' fine.
