"Save Me, Sister" lyrics

Save me, Sister, Sister, save me
Save me from temptation
Of other lips, of other eyes
Of other vows, of other ties
Of other smiles and other sighs
From that devil revelry
From the life of fancy free!

Save me, Sister, Sister, save me
My heart needs salvation!
I'm gonna miss, I'm gonna stray
But lady, from this very day
I'll go the straight and narrow way
Sister, if you lead me to
Pastures green and eyes of blue
Don't make me feel like a motherless child
A sisterless son
And dozens and dozens of loverless cousins!

Save me, Sister, Sister, save me
What's my destination?
I'm gonna rise, I'm gonna shine
I'm gonna sign the dotted line
I'm going to make the heavens mine, above
Sister, you're a winner if you save a little sinner who's in love

There's a light ahead in somebody's eyes
His heart cries out for love that glorifies!

Don't make him feel like a motherless child
A sisterless son
And dozens and dozens of loverless cousins
He's headed for
He's headed for
That pearly shore
That pearly shore
That golden door
That golden door!
The little sinner who's in love!
