Sister Sally

Sister Sally rides a train on the east side

She takes a long way home

If you ask her she'll just smile and say she don't know

where she's going

The train is crowded but she looks so alone

She's got a man who says he loves her and then he hurts

her

She swears he only does it when he's mad

If it was up to her this train would keep on running

(maybe forever)

But for now it leads her right back to his hands

So driver take the train to another place tonight

He's waiting and her supper's getting cold

Her heart's too big for him to make her feel so small

And she's much too young to look so old

There's something that hurts more than the punches

There's something that hurts more than his hands

That's of all the names she could call him

She can't call him anything but her man
