Little Girl, Before You Go Lyrics
Your hand’s on the handle and it’s turning fast
You’re doing what you promised to do at last
What will be will be – the die is cast
So long, see you, we’ll forget the past

But, little girl, before you go
Tell me something that I don’t know
Little girl, before you go
Tell me something that I need to know

The room’s spinning, it’s crowded and smoky
In the corner’s some long haired Folkies
A tom-boy drools like Annie Oakley
Maggie’s doing the Hokey-Cokey

But, little girl, before you go
Tell me something that I don’t know
Little girl, before you go
You know something that I want to know

Who is it that you want, is it her or me?
Your eyes are crossed, it’s getting hard to see
The moon is falling into the sea
This glass of beer tastes like warm pee

But, little girl, before you go
Tell me something that I don’t know
Little girl, before you go
Tell me something that I have to know

Your hand rocked the cradle, now it’s falling down
You’re taking half, so leave half your wedding gown
Slip out that door, like a queen with no crown
Take care of yourself, I’ll see you around

So, little girl, you’ve got to go
You know nothing that I need to know
Little girl, for time will show
How from acorns tall oak trees will grow
