Little Lover

When the water won't draw
When the water won't draw
And the river runs dry
And the river runs dry
I been watching that crow
I been watching that crow
Wondering when he's gonna fly
Wondering when he's gonna fly
When the water won't draw
When the water won't draw
Little lover won't satisfy
Little lover won't satisfy
When the water won't draw
And the river runs dry
I went to market but I didn't come back
Put my penny on the railroad track
Train came creeping like a diamond-back
Make me wanna holler like a mountain jack
People can I get on
I went to market but I didn't come back
Put my penny on the railroad track
Train came creeping like a diamond-back
Make me wanna holler like a mountain jack
People can I get on
Little lover won't satisfy
Little lover won't satisfy
When the whistle gonna blow
When the whistle gonna blow
Tell me that my work is over
Tell me that my work is done
