Lyrics Sweet Lil' - David McWilliams

Sweet Lil'

Little momma 's in despair
Got no crazy clothes to wear
Nothing in the world she wants to do
So she turns and walks away
To step around another day
Never tasting anything that’s new
She seems to always wait for some other kind of sorrow
Thinks no one but herself can ever feel
That she somehow always looks the same
As she steps upon the road again
Takes another spin upon the wheel
Oh sweet Lil' won’t you do your daddy’s will
Won’t you take some other sinner as your friend
Playing on your tambourine selling life just like a dream
Won’t you lead another soldier past the bend
Can you hear the knocking upon the door
Some stranger asking not too sure
The way on which his rolling step should go
And you show him and he passes on
Along the road the rest have gone
You’re too busy with yourself to let him know
And if they listen for a while
You feed them cakes and coffee
That’s little for the Lord to have to pay
But nothing has been lost or won
Just a lot of pretty songs been sung
Tomorrow will be just another day.
Oh sweet Lil' won’t you do your daddy’s will
Won’t you take some other sinner as your friend
Playing on your tambourine selling life just like a dream
Won’t you lead another soldier past the bend.
