Sister Sookey

[Chorus]
I wonder where Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
And that girl, she’s gone to Egypt

[Verse 1]
Well, I seen Sister Sookey on the railroad tracks
Waiting for the freight train to come back
But when the freight train came, it was an hour late
But you oughta see Sookey when she hopped that freight

[Chorus]
I wonder where Sister Sookey’s done gone
Gone, gonе, gone
Sister Sookey’s donе gone
And that girl, she’s gone to Egypt

[Verse 2]
I believe Sister Sookey’s done lost her mind
She had a pair of shoes of the strangest kind
With the heels in the front and the heels behind
I couldn’t tell whether she was coming or gwine

[Chorus]
I wonder where Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
And that girl, she’s gone to Egypt

[Sax Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well I caught Sister Sookey, tried to put her in a home
She said go away man, leave me alone
You know I’d rather ramble all up and down this land
Than to be tied down to a no good man

[Chorus]
I wonder where Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
And that girl, she’s gone to Egypt

[Outro]
She’s gone to Egypt
Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey done gone
Sister Sookey’s done gone
Sister Sookey done gone
Sister Sookey done gone
