Little Man (小伙计) - Andreas Silver[00:00:00]
I remember walkin' 'round the court square sidewalk[00:00:09]
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want[00:00:13]
There's Johnson's hardware and Morgan's jewelry[00:00:18]
And the old Lee King's apothecary[00:00:21]
They ware the little man the little man[00:00:25]
I go back now and the stores are empty[00:00:34]
Except for an old coke sign dated 1950[00:00:37]
Boarded up like they never existed[00:00:42]
Or renovated and called historic districts[00:00:46]
There goes the little man there goes the little man[00:00:49]
Now the court square's just a set of streets[00:00:57]
That the people go round but they seldom think[00:01:01]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:01:05]
Before the big money shut them down[00:01:09]
And killed the little man oh the little man[00:01:13]
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass[00:01:22]
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat[00:01:25]
The new stores came where you do it yourself[00:01:29]
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf[00:01:33]
Forget the little man forget about that little man[00:01:37]
He hung on there for a few more years[00:01:46]
But he couldn't sell Slurpees he wouldn't sell beer[00:01:49]
Now the bank rents the station to a man down the road[00:01:53]
And they sell velvet Elvis and second-hand clothes[00:01:57]
There goes the little man there goes another little man[00:02:01]
Now the court square's just a set of streets[00:02:09]
That the people go 'round but they seldom think[00:02:13]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:02:17]
Before the big money shut them down[00:02:21]
And killed the little man the little man[00:02:25]
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip[00:02:53]
You can buy the whole world in just one trip[00:02:57]
And save a penny 'cause it's jumbo size[00:03:02]
They don't even realize[00:03:06]
They're killin' the little man oh the little man[00:03:08]
Now the court square's just a set of streets[00:03:17]
That the people go 'round but they seldom think[00:03:21]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:03:25]
Before the big money shut them down[00:03:29]
And killed the little man oh the little man[00:03:33]
It wasn't long ago when I was a child[00:03:42]
An old black man came with his mule and his plow[00:03:45]
He broke the ground where we grew our garden[00:03:50]
Back before we'd all forgotten[00:03:54]
About the little man the little man[00:03:59]
Long live the little man[00:04:07]
God bless the little man[00:04:11]
