She wasn't in her bed that cold, clear morning
Mama cried out, My God your sister's gone

No one knows if she was taken or if she ran off on her own
The only thing we know for certain
Is she ain't never coming home

I recall hearing whispers in the dark
Never thought it bore mention
Just those dreams that make me walk

No one knows if she was take nor if she ran off on her own
The only thing we know for certain
Is she ain't never coming home

The hired hand said he didn't want to get involved in
Our affairs but he swears he's heard a man come calling

No one knows if she was taken or if she ran off on her own
The only thing we know for certain
Is she ain't never coming home

Now and then I think that I can hear her talking
But it's just her specter lingering and haunting

No one knows if she was taken or if she ran off on her own
The only thing we know for certain
Is she ain't never coming home"
