The lady they are talking about sis draper is my great grandma my grandpa talked about her all the te we still have her fiddle

This was a great number. Didn't realize it at the time, but Guy Clark passed on May 17, 2016 - just two weeks before this PHC show in Atlanta. An undercurrent theme of the show was rapid, sure passage of time. "Sis Draper" encapsulated life's journey with a beautiful folk poignancy, and none better to render this fitting tribute than Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder. Thank you, Mr. Clark.

My Arkansas home dude.

Shawn Camp deserves more credit !!! He knew Sis not Guy!

Reminds me of a square dance.

"Sis Draper is the Devil's daughter / Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her..." Don't mess with Guy's lyrics.

You do realize he wrote the song with Shawn Camp

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 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 She came down from the Boston mountains There was lightnin' in the air Honey on them fiddle strings Magnolia in her hair She's a diamond in the rough If you can't see the shine that's tough 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 She stepped 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 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 mama taught her She's a travelin' Arkansawyer 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 Watcher her leave watched her go Wishin' I was in that wagon Sis Draper is the devil's daughter Plays the fiddle Daddy bought her Plays it like her mama taught her She's a travelin' Arkansawyer
