Alverta

Sister Flo’s out by the barn

Playing cat’s cradle with a ball of yarn

Sun is setting over miller’s farm

You hear the locusts in the breeze

Now Peggy wants to join right in

You can hear her laughter you can see her grin

The memories she’s held within

Have brought her to her knees

Chorus:

Alverta come home tonight

You know everything is going to be all right

You can get there now at the speed of light

And lay your burdens down

Diane’s calling out to you
