Sweet Lil’

[Verse 1]
Little mama's in despair
Has got no crazy clothes to wear
Nothing in the world she wants to do
So she turns and walks away
Step around another day
Never tasting anything that's new

[Verse 2]
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
Take another spin upon the wheel

[Chorus]
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 soldiеr past the bend?

[Verse 3]
Can you hear thе knock 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

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
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?
