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
