Sister cry, from 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
Sister cry, count the stars
As 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
Someone come along and carry you down
(And you called my name, I was so hungry then)
Someone come along and carry you down
(And could not see you)
Someone come along and carry you down
(And we don't talk at all, it's the hardest way)
Someone come along and carry you down
Sister cry, you been mistreated
It 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
There's devils knocking at your door
But I could lead them all astray
Just don't matter what people say
Someone come along and carry you down
(And you called my name, I was so hungry then)
Someone come along and carry you down
(And could not see you)
Someone come along and carry you down
(And we don't talk at all, it's the hardest way)
Someone come along and carry you down
Sister cry, count the stars
As 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
