ELVIE'S BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

[for Elvie Thomas, aka L. V. Thomas, Geeshie Wiley's partner]

o my sister o my sister
I do love you yes I do
o my sister my best friend
you're the only one who's true
you made one and one
and one and one to two

Elvie baby Elvie love
play with me this one last time
Elvie sweetie Lord above
make this loving into rhyme
you and I are innocent
innocent of any crime

they said we's sinners
no we aint
we aint sinners
no we aint
we're more than sisters
less than saints

and when I meet you once again
on the Jesus Judgement Day
when I meet you at the Gate
you know what I'm gonna say
Heaven knows what's in my heart
tomorrow yester and today

o my sister o my love
I do love you yes I do
o my sister my best friend
you're the only one who's true
I pray I meet you once again
where all roads come to an end....
