Sister Soak The Beans Lyrics

CHORUS



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 memoan?



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







Repeat CHORUS







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







Repeat CHORUS







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
