Little Sister by Slobberbone
Little Sister lyrics
My sister sent me, come and get you in
It's time to take your dinner and you know
You're to come in when your called
I can see you up on the highest limb
The sky looks to be stormin'
And you'll be cold by mornin'
When I returned without you
Her head was filled with words
Her tongue could not withhold, see
So she let them fly and scold me
I told I'd seen out on the highest limb
She said the night was stormin'
And you'd be dead by mornin'
Little sister, where have you gone?
In the night I hear you cryin'
And the days are so damn long
Sometimes I wish that I could've gone
Instead of you and I wonder if you
Were sittin' here, would you be wishin' that too
The woods were damp and the air was green
A beautiful spring morning, now
What could serve as warning
And I'd often seen it, rotten wood
And broken bricks, a long rope and a pail
And a hole going straight to hell
And your big brother, you'd do anything to catch his smile
But you couldn't catch him runnin'
So you'd just duck and hide for awhile
I didn't hear you, I didn't even try
I was a hundred yards away
I thought you'd run off somewhere to play
Little sister, where have you gone?
In the night I hear you cryin'
And the days are so damn long
Sometimes I wish that I could've gone
Instead of you and I wonder if you
Were sittin' here, would you be wishin' that too
Ground was clay, we dug a shallow grave
And laid ourselves to sleep, there just outside
The fields where we had played
And I remember, the way we mourned and cried
And tried to start the healing
But what the stone was revealing was a lie
'Cause it was I
Little sister, where have you gone?
In the night I hear you cryin'
And the days are so damn long
Sometimes I wish that I were
Laying here with you and I wonder if that were so
Would you be ridin' like me
Little sister, where have you gone?
In the night I hear you cryin'
And the days are so damn long
Sometimes I wish that I were
Laying here with you and I wonder if that were so
Would you be ridin' like me too, like me too
