"The Little One" lyrics

"The Little One"

Well the last time I saw you was Kentucky and laughing was all that we could do
And we drank and we talked about the old days and we played our favorite songs a time or two
Then you told me what you done then you told me with who
And when I heard from a little one it broke my heart away

Cause you betrayed me brother
And you betrayed me again
Or did you do the best you could after I was gone

Did you think that I was dead
Did you think I wouldn't know
Or did you mean what you said such a long time ago

Well I used to sing a song for sally and she use to sing songs for me
For awhile we did walk the world together and we both saw some things we hadnt seen

Then she betrayed me brother
And she betrayed me again
Or did she do the best she could after I was gone

Did she wish that I was dead
Does she wish I didn't know
Or did she mean what she said such a long time ago

And I heard of what they'd done
And I heard about with who
When I heard of a little one it broke my heart away
