Bill Lloyd - Little Satchel

Текст с Bandcamp’a: “I heard this up-tempo song from Riley Baugus, who had it from his neighbour Fred Cockerham. It seems like a simple love story, but it has a twist. Of all the ways to endure imprisonment, dreaming of freedom must be one of the most common, and this dream is detailed and well developed. lyrics Little Satchel Under my bed you can set your little satchel And on my head come lay your little hand If you will be my own true lover And I will be your loving little man Run to the house and ask your papa If a bride of mine you’ll ever be If he says no, come back and tell me And I will wait till you get free When you get free, we’ll go get married Look how happy we will be And we can go to California Or any old place you want to go Or we can go to Louisiana, And settle down, and live at home. (Instrumental ½) (Instrumental 1) I wish I was a little angel And over these prison walls I would fly Fly on back to the arms of my darling Stay at home and there I will die As you can see I’m no little angel Neither have I wings to fly I’ll go back all broken hearted Weep and mourn until I die Under my bed you can set your little satchel And on my head come lay your little hand If you will be my own true lover And I will be your loving little man from Heavy Duty - Ballads of the Unfree, released February 1, 2018 Traditional, arr.
