Lyrics Sister Soak the Beans - Joe Ely
Sister,
soak
the
beans
I'll
be
comin
Home
to
Chop
the
Onion
Mama,
light
the
stove
It'll
take
a
while
for
the
cornbread
to
get
done
I'll
be
comin'
home
I've
had
enough,
I'm
done
with
self-denial
Can't
you
hear
me
moan?
Set
the
table,
I'll
be
there
in
a
while
Workin'
on
the
run
Burnin'
cactus
down
on
the
Rio
Grande
No
shade
from
the
sun
Just
wishin'
I'd
get
done
with
shovelin'
sand
Sister,
soak
the
beans
I'll
be
comin
Home
to
Chop
the
Onion
Mama,
light
the
stove
It'll
take
a
while
for
the
cornbread
to
get
done
I'll
be
comin'
home
I've
had
enough,
I'm
done
with
self-denial
Can't
you
hear
me
moan?
Set
the
table,
I'll
be
there
in
a
while
I
been
gone
so
long
Callin'
cattle
on
the
Goodnight
Lovin'
Line
Can't
you
hear
my
song
The
canteen's
dry
as
the
dust
that's
in
my
eyes
Sister,
soak
the
beans
I'll
be
comin
Home
to
Chop
the
Onion
Mama,
light
the
stove
It'll
take
a
while
for
the
cornbread
to
get
done
I'll
be
comin'
home
I've
had
enough,
I'm
done
with
self-denial
Can't
you
hear
me
moan?
Set
the
table,
I'll
be
there
in
a
while
Last
time
I
got
stuck
In
a
Yankee
city
up
above
the
Dixon
Line
I
run
plum
out
of
luck
Not
an
inch
of
enchalada
could
I
find
I'll
be
comin'
home
I've
had
enough,
I'm
done
with
self-denial
No
Peace
can
I
find
Set
the
table,
I'll
be
there
in
a
while
