Little Sister Lyrics - Singles - Slobberbone

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
