Say sis – ter,[E7-9] oh sister,
You've been traveling too fast;
I warn you, [E7-9]yes, warn you —
Say how long [Bm7-5] will it last?
You'd [A7+5]better slow down
Before there is a showdown,
Or else our love is [E7-9]gonna break down
If you don't slow down.[E7-9]
Ba -[A7+5] by, I've told you –
I do not wanna scold you.
These arms of mine just[E7-9] wanna hold you
Until you slow down.
You see a handsome face,
Then you for – get your place here beside me;
While all I do is pray that there will come a day
When you're free, free, free
[A7+5] To love me,
No other loves above me;
Sweetheart, you know that [E7-9]you can have me
If you slow down.
