Little Lover Lyrics by The Barr Brothers

Sleeping Operator

2014

[Verse 1]
When the water won't draw
When the water won't draw
And the river runs dry
And the river runs dry
I been watching that crow
I been watching that crow
Wondering when he's gonna fly
Wondering when he's gonna fly
[Chorus]
When the water won't draw
When the water won't draw
Little lover won't satisfy
Little lover won't satisfy
Little lover won't satisfy
Little lover won't satisfy
When the water won't draw
And the river runs dry
[Verse 2]
I went to market, but I didn't come back (Back, back)
Put my penny on the railroad track (Track)
Train came creeping like a diamond-back (Back)
Make me wanna holler like a mountain jack
People, can I get on?
Can I get on? (Get on)
[Harmonica Solo]
[Interlude]
(Little lover won't)
(Little lover won't)
(Little lover won't)
(Little lover won't)
[Verse 3]
I went to market, but I didn't come back
Put my penny on the railroad track
Train came creeping like a diamond-back
Make me wanna holler like a mountain jack
I went to market, but I didn't come back
Put my penny on the railroad track
Train came creeping like a diamond-back
Make me wanna holler like a mountain jack
People, can I get on? Can I get on?
Get on, get on, get on, get on
[Chorus]
Little lover won't
Little lover won't (Little lover won't satisfy)
Little lover won't (Little lover won't satisfy)
Little lover won't (Little lover won't satisfy)
I have been watching that crow (Little lover won't satisfy)
I have been watching that crow (Little lover won't satisfy)
I wonder when he's gonna fly (Little lover won't satisfy)
I wonder when he's gonna fly (Little lover won't satisfy)
Little lover won't (Little lover won't satisfy)
Little lover won't satisfy (And the water won't draw)
And the water won't draw (And the river runs dry)
[Outro]
When the whistle gonna blow?
When the whistle gonna blow?
Tell me that my work is over
Tell me that my work is done
