Play, Little David

Play Little David, play



David he would sit in some dark corner

Seemed to melt the shadows with his eyes

And the song that he was playing

Was nothing less than prayin'

And nothing more than sayin' "I'm alive."

Won't you play, Little David

Play Little David, play



David he would send them notes a-flyin'

Some that laughed and some that felt like tears

He would play them fast or slowly

Play them high or lowly

But they always come out holy to my ear

Won't you play, Little David, play Little David, play



I don't need no Sunday sermon

Need no Sunday shoes

When I hear Little David playing

I got religion through and through



David he would send them notes a-flyin'

Some that laughed and some that felt like tears

He would play them fast or slowly

Play them high or lowly

But they always come out holy to my ear

Won't you play, Little David, play Little David, play



I don't need no Sunday sermon

Need no Sunday shoes

When I hear Little David playing

I got religion through and through



David he would send them notes a-flyin'

Some that laughed and some that felt like tears

He would play them fast or slowly

Play them high or lowly

But they always come out holy to my ear



Won't you play, Little David, play Little David, play

Won't you play, Little David, play Little David, play
