Text: Steve Earle. Copperhead Road 2008. Little Sister.

I dont care what you do to me
I dont care what you do to me
I dont care what you do to me
But wont you let my little sister be

Now you can tie me up an torture me
You can hang me from a willow tree
You can jail me for eternity
But wont you let my little sister be

Shes afraid of the dark
She prays for the morning light
Shes as free as a bird
And her wings are spread and ready for flight
She knows nothing at all
About you and your emotional plight
But she heard you making noises
In the hallway late last night

If you got to have something to show
And youve got to take it down below
And youre sure that one of us must go
Take me and leave my sister alone
