Sister Cry (Live at the Cabaret Metro, 2/14/93)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sister cry 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 [Verse 2] Sister cry Count the stars Is 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 [Chorus] (Someone come along and carry you down) And you called my name I was so hungry then (Someone come along and carry you down) You could not see you (Someone come along and lay you down) And you don't talk at all It's the hardest way (Someone come along) And carry you down [Verse 3] Sister cry Been mistreated 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 [Guitar Solo] [Spoken] That's Karen Grotberg over there on the piano. She's been playing with us for--I don't know, since September. Met her on a bar on the West Bank. Go ahead, Karen. [Piano Solo] [Bridge] There's devils knocking at your door But I could lead them all astray It just don't matter what people say [Chorus] (Someone come along and carry you down) And you called my name I was so hungry then (Someone come along and carry you down) You could not see you (Someone come along and lay you down) And we don't talk at all It's the hardest way (Someone come along) And carry you down [Verse 2] Sister cry Count the stars Is 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 [Outro] Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [Spoken Outro] Thank you.
