MY LITTLE LOVE
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1998


I got a song that is on my mind
My little love who is never unkind.
I'm a poet and I'm better off dead
These are the words she said.

Down by the breadline pickin' up dough
Hand me the guitar, there I'll go.
I would rather make a livin' instead
Instead of bein' in the red.
 
My little love from the world outside
Helpin' me keep, aturnin' the tide.
Come and meet me by the neon light
And I'm hopin' you will make it alright.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.

My little love movin' in my soul
My little love who will never turn cold.
It doesn't matter if I ain't shaved
It doesn't matter if I ain't behaved.

My little love you've been on my side
Helpin' me keep, aturnin' the tide.
Have a hard time livin' right now
Having a fine time showin' you how.

My little love from the world out there
Helpin' me keep adoin' my share.
Come and meet me by the neon light
And I'm hopin' you will make it alright.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.

My little love you been on my mind
My little love who is never unkind.
I'm a poet and I'm better off dead
These are the words she said.

Down by the breadline pickin' up dough
Hand me the guitar, there I'll go.
It doesn't matter if I ain't shaved
Or it don't matter if I ain't behaved.

I got a light that is in my soul
I got the love that'll never turn cold.
Come and meet me by the neon tonight
And I'm hopin' you will make it alright.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.

I'll do anything you see fit, my little love.
