Quincy Jones Lyrics

"Miss Celie's Blues (Sister)"

(from "The Color Purple" soundtrack)

Sister

You've been on my mind

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 somethin'

I hope you think

That you're somethin' too

Oh, Scufflin'

I been up that lonesome road

And I seen a lot of suns goin' down

Oh, but trust me

No low life's gonna run me around

So let me tell you somethin' sister

Remember your name

No twister

Gonna steal your stuff away

My sister

Sho' ain't got a whole lot of time

So shake your shimmy

Sister

'Cause honey this 'shug

Is feelin' fine
