Sissy, I know you're sad, Through all the hurt you've had.I can't make it right, Can't win your fight,Although I'd like to.You married far too young, You were a precious one.Peace stole you away, A new role to play,The Empress of Austria.If I had a wish, I wouldn't miss my chance to say.Oh, oh, Sissy, I braid your hair, Wash away all despair.You fought it with death, To take your last breath,And lead it to heaven.Sissy, it makes me sad, You had your babies too,Taken away from you.How did you survive so long in that life?I couldn't do it.Blessed may you be, Barefoot and free,With all your children.Oh, oh, Sissy, I braid your hair, Wash away all despair.*
