lyrics

do you have room can I get a ride
sister mary’s got her gun
I can’t turn back can we run the light
sister mary’s got her gun
I’m running around with a devil child
If I ever get away I’m gonna shut my mouth

Sister Mary’s mad as hell tonight
Bang bang went her gun
No one’s gonna get away tonight
bang bang turn and run

It’s not a good time for us to argue and fight
Sister mary’s got her gun
we can get together try to make this right
Sister mary’s got her gun
I’m running away from the devil child
and I’m never ever ever gonna run my mouth

Sister Mary’s mad as hell tonight
Bang bang went her gun
No one’s gonna get away tonight
bang bang turn and run

Bang bang
went her gun
bang bang
no more fun
bang bang
turn and run
no one’s safe cause she’s mad as hell tonight

I wanna turn and hug her tell her it’s all right
sister mary’s got her gun
but nothing I say’s gonna change her mind
sister mary’s got her gun
she’s turning her gun towards the devil child
she’s gonna shoot him dead gonna shut his mouth

Sister Mary’s mad as hell tonight
Bang bang went her gun
No one’s gonna get away tonight
bang bang turn and run
Sister Mary’s mad as hell tonight
bang bang turn and run
Sister Mary is mad tonight
