Sweet Lil' - David McWilliams

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.
