Am Remember the G time when we F two kin were Am reared
There was G never a F morsel but that it was sh C ared
If the E one babe was Am stung, t'was the E other would Am cry
There G scarce was a F crossed word and D never a G lie
Our Am people were G drab and de F feated like Am slaves
The G light of their F fathers went into the gr C aves
I E took to the Am highway to E find some re Am lief
I G never meant F parting to D put you to G grief
Chorus:
C Sisters, we were F sisters
'Til G love came F between us and D pulled us a G part
We were C sisters, we were F sisters
Don't G call me your F sister and put a knife through my Am 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 anymore
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
