The Color Purple (1985 Film) soundtrack lyrics -- Miss Celie's Blues



Sister, you've been on my mind

Sister, we're two of a kind

So Sister, I'm keeping 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

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
