My Sister Stole My Sweetheart

Lyrics: My Sister Stole My Sweetheart

I thought it mighty kindly When they went out on the town, My sister and my sweetheart Just a-laughin’ all around. They’d share a bag of popcorn, Split a soda every night, I said, “Ain’t that family friendly?” Lord, I wasn’t very bright. My sister stole my sweetheart, Ain’t that a country song? I should’ve seen it comin’, But I was looking wrong. Now they’re kissin’ in the barn light, I’m cryin’ in the hay, My sister stole my sweetheart, And rode my girl away. I bought my girl some roses, And a ribbon for her hair, But when I came a-callin’, My sweetheart wasn’t there. I heard some giggles yonder, By the mule and sack of corn, Then I saw my sister kiss her And my poor old heart was shorn. Now Mama says, “Don’t holler, Love is strange and so are you,” Daddy says, “Son, have a biscuit, There ain’t much else to do.” Even our old hound is smilin’, Like he knew it all along, He’s got better sense than I do, And he can’t even sing this song. My sister stole my sweetheart, Ain’t that a country song? I should’ve seen it comin’, But I was looking wrong. Now they’re kissin’ in the barn light, I’m cryin’ in the hay, My sister stole my sweetheart, And rode my girl away. Now they go out dancin’ In my polished Chevrolet, My sister wears her lipstick, And my sweetheart hollers, “Hey!” They wave at me on Sunday Like I’m kin and not the fool, So I just tip my hat down lower And go back to actin’ cool. My sister stole my sweetheart, Ain’t that a country song? I should’ve seen it comin’, But I was looking wrong. Now they’re kissin’ in the barn light, I’m cryin’ in the hay, My sister stole my sweetheart, And rode my girl away. Yes, my sister stole my sweetheart, And I’m the dumbest man today.

About this song

A lighthearted, narrative classic country song following a self-deprecating narrator who comically recounts the realization his sister stole his girlfriend, packed full of charming rural small-town tropes, deadpan family quips, and dry, silly humor about missing obvious romantic red flags.
