Memphis - She's My Sister Lyrics

Original Broadway production (2010)
Memphis the musical - She's My Sister Lyrics

"She's My Sister" is a song from Memphis the musical performed by Delray And Huey.

DELRAY
Now I didn't mean to call you a redneck-son-of-a-, bitch
Though you are a redneck-son-of-a-bitch.
I know you didn't mean to call my club a crappy little club,
Though I guess it is a crappy little club.
My parents died young, they died poor.
They left me with my sister not much more.
She had this voice like none I knew,
So I opened up my club, what else could I do?
For my sister. My little sister.
She sang her song and they customers came-

HUEY
I came from nothin'.

DELRAY
We made some money and I made me a name!

HUEY
I'll make her somethin'.

DELRAY
You are stealing this music-

HUEY
That ain't for you to say!

DELRAY
Hey, I don't blame ya, brother, it's the American way!

HUEY
No, no, there's something you just don't understand!

DELRAY
Oh yeah, I understand you're a dangerous man!

HUEY
I love your sister, really I do.

DELRAY
Don't ever let me hear those words come out of you!
Not here in Memphis-
The danger is deep that you wanna put her in,
I don't care about you but she's my sister!
I'm a God-fearing man, a Christian through and through,
But you can bet I'll protect my baby sister!
Oh-oh-oh, she's my one and only flesh and blood!
Be careful with the one I love!
She's my sister!
