Kick your shoes off in the corner, mama
Tuck the babies all up snug
Sis Draper's comin' over
we all gonna cut a rug

When you see that lantern swingin' yonder
Comin' up the Holler Road
Them dogs'll get to barkin'
Ought to tie 'em all up with a rope

Now you boys better get in tune
Sis Draper's gonna be here soon
Don't shoot no dice nor get too tight
If you're gonna pick with Sis tonight

Well, she came down from the Boston mountains
There was lightnin' in the air
Honey on them fiddle strings
Magnolia in her hair

Now she's a diamond in the rough
If you can't see the shine that's tough
she'll play all night for the likes of us
Sis Draper's got the touch

She'll play all night if she feels like it
Have some fruit punch if you spike it
Sis don't care who don't like it
See ol' Sis has got a hell of a bow arm on her

Well, she stepped right up and sawed one off
And uncle Cleve dropped his jaw
Said, "She's the best I ever saw"
She must be from Arkansas

I think grandpa used to date her
Grandma says she still hates her
And all the fellas stand up straighter
In the presence of Sis Draper

Sis Draper is the devil's daughter
Plays the fiddle daddy bought her
Plays it like her mammy taught her
She's a travelin' Arkansawyer

well, she put her fiddle in a box
Said it's getting awful late
She's on her way to Little Rock
And Little Rock can't wait

So we all stood out in the yard
Hands all full of watermelon
Watched her leave, watched her go
Wishin' we was in that wagon

Sis Draper is the devil's daughter
Plays the fiddle daddy bought her
Plays it like her mammy taught her
She's a travelin' Arkansawyer
