Little Brother Blues Lyrics

You told me not to go
You told me not to go
Then I watched you go
Little brother blues

Walking down the path
In our Sunday pants
You told me not to tap
To the devil's dance
Come Friday night
In your after shave
You said morning light
We'll fish all day

You told me not to go
You told me not to go
Then I watched you go
Little brother blues

My bait was good
Strong was my line
Back through the woods
For suppertime
I end my search
Shaking your bed
Show you my perch
You pat my head

You told me not to go
You told me not to go
Then I watched you go
Little brother blues

When the sun was through
And the moon would rise
You would tell me to
And I would close my eyes
But I would not sleep
No, I would dream of times
When I would walk in streets
One step behind

You told me not to go
You told me not to go
Then I watched you go
Little brother blues

Walking down the path
In our Sunday pants
You told me not to tap
To the devil's dance

You told me not to go
You told me not to go
Then I watched you go
Little brother blues
