“Little Red Rider”

Lyrics Permalink
Little red rider, ride on the railroad
And she cried
Little red rider, ride on the railroad
And waved goodbye
So so long sunshine, ride away
I know you’ll come back someday
And light my light
Little Miss Red’s asleep on the railroad
There she goes
Little Miss Red’s asleep on the railroad
And no one knows
That Little Miss Red is Little Miss Blue
And she looks a lot like you
Around the eyes
Nobody was home in town
Oh, nobody was home in town
Nobody was home in the town I called home
Somebody said they all had drowned
Bye bye, sweet miss, give me one kiss
And then I’ll go
Bye bye, sweet miss, give me one kiss
But don’t let it show
Then turn your brown eyes to the wall
Was that message there before
You were so wise?
