Lyrics

Sister, you've been on my mind

Oh, sister, we're two of a kind

So, sister, I'm keepin' my eyes 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

Oh, scufflin', I've been up that lonesome road

And I seen a lot 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 steal your stuff away, my sister

We sure ain't got a whole lot of time

So shake your shimmy, sister

'Cause, honey, the shug is feelin' fine
