Little Man (小伙计) - Ameritz Tribute Club (Ameritz翻唱俱乐部)[00:00:00]
I remember walk'in round the court square sidewalk[00:00:15]
Lookin' in windows at things I couldn't want[00:00:20]
There's johnson's hardware and morgans jewelry[00:00:24]
And the ol' Lee king's apothecary[00:00:27]
They ware the little man[00:00:31]
The little man[00:00:35]
I go back now and the stores are all empty[00:00:40]
Except for an old coke sign from 1950[00:00:44]
Boarded up like they never existed[00:00:48]
Or renovated and called historic districts[00:00:52]
There goes the little man[00:00:55]
There goes the little man[00:00:58]
Now the court square's just a set of streets[00:01:03]
That the people go round but they seldom think[00:01:07]
Bout the little man that built this town[00:01:11]
Before the big money shut em down[00:01:15]
And killed the little man[00:01:19]
Oh the little man[00:01:22]
He pumped your gas and he cleaned your glass[00:01:27]
And one cold rainy night he fixed your flat[00:01:31]
The new stores came where you do it yourself[00:01:35]
You buy a lotto ticket and food off the shelf[00:01:39]
Forget about the little man[00:01:42]
Forget about that little man[00:01:46]
He hung on there for a few more years[00:01:51]
But he couldn't sell slurpees[00:01:55]
And he wouldn't sell beer[00:01:57]
Now the bank rents the station[00:01:59]
To a down the road[00:02:01]
And sell velvet Elvis and[00:02:03]
Second-hand clothes[00:02:05]
There goes little man[00:02:06]
There goes another little man[00:02:10]
Now the court square's just a set of streets[00:02:14]
That the people go round but they seldom think[00:02:18]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:02:22]
Before the big money shut them down[00:02:27]
And killed the little man oh the little man[00:02:30]
Now the stores are lined up in a concrete strip[00:02:59]
You can buy the whole world in just one trip[00:03:02]
And save a penny 'cause it's jumbo size[00:03:07]
They don't even realize[00:03:10]
They're killin' the little man oh the little man[00:03:14]
And the court square's just a set of streets[00:03:22]
That the people go 'round but they seldom think[00:03:26]
'Bout the little man that built this town[00:03:31]
Before the big money shut them down[00:03:34]
And killed the little man oh the little man[00:03:38]
It wasn't long ago when I was a child[00:03:46]
An old black man came with his mule and his plow[00:03:51]
He broke the ground where we grew our garden[00:03:55]
Back before we'd all forgotten[00:03:58]
About the little man the little man[00:04:03]
Long live the little man[00:04:11]
God bless the little man[00:04:16]
