LITTLE MAN

from 13 Weeks by Brad Fielder

/

lyrics

Little man, little man
child of the promise land
born with fortune in his hand
he did know

From a quiet country home
Little man, he left to roam
just a pocket knife and comb
he did own

Little man went to town
just to see what could be found
he saw women standing 'round
wearing pearls

He found sinners at the bar
drinking, smoking on cigars
making money playing cards
and the girls

Of the ladies he was keen
for he was new on the scene
and they loved him for his green
and boyish ways

But the women and the booze
quickly broke apart his ruse
and he could no longer choose
as grown men say

Living in the greed and lust
Little man soon soon drank and cussed
it was known that he was just
twelve years old

Little man, little man
with a diamond in his hand
cheating out the honest man
for his gold

He was surely too soon caught
and his fortune was now wrought
with the fate of being shot
or to hang

Little man, little man
did not know to give a damn
he just smiled as he heard
the angels sing

Little man, little man
child of the promise land
born with fortune in his hand
he did know
