Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

My Little Love

I've got a song that it is 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 living instead

Instead of bein' in the red

My little love from the world outside

Helpin' me keep, turnin' the tide

Come and meet me by the neon light

And I'm hopin' you'll 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 been on my side

Helpin' me keep, turnin' the tide

Havin' a hard time livin' right now

Havin' a fine time showin' you how

My little love from the world out there

Helpin' me keep, a-doin' 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

I've got a song that it is 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

It don't matter if I ain't behaved

I got a light that is in my soul

I got a love that'll never turn cold

Come and meet me by the neon tonight

And I'm hopin' you'll make it alright

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

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