Biography:
The Secret Sisters are real life sisters Laura and Lydia Rogers from Alabama who specialize in pop and country harmonies. Their sound is reminscent of the 40s and 50s decades of American music, so it is not surprising that their debut album contains cover versions of several classics from that period.

The Secret Sisters - Iuka
[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
I'd never tell a man to ask my Daddy for my hand
Am
I've got a thousand tales about the temper of that man
He'd shoot a man who came within a mile of my young frame
Am
But I know that you will take the risk so I can take your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
You've got the ring, I've got the keys and sixty miles ahead
E7 N.C. Am
Iuka, Mississippi, where the two of us will wed
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
Am
Never come home
[Verse 2]
My daddy finally knocked a little sense right into me
Am
So, I asked around until I found the Justice of the Peace
The bruises on my body can't be hidden anymore
Am
So park your car upon the hill, I'm headed out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am
Step easy so my daddy doesn't hear us sneak away
E7 N.C. Am
Hang around, he'll shoot you down, that's why we just can't stay
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
[Bridge]
Dm
Follow close behind me, not much further now
Am
Oh, it's just a shadow, I didn't hear a sound
Dm
Ain't no way he heard us, ain't no way he'll come
E
I hear someone breathing, hold my hand and run____
[Instrumental]
Am
[Verse 3]
Somewhere in the river there's a gun the devil owned
Am
Somehow everybody knew that everything was wrong
A noose up in the maple tree, the old man's gonna pay
N.C.
Two headstones for two lovers who finally got away
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
[Chorus]
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
Am
'Fore he knows the two of us have up and gone
Dm
Take me down to Iuka, Mississippi
B E
We can run away and never come home
Am
Never come home
Never come home
Am
Never come home
