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
