James Downes - Sixth Street Lullaby Lyrics

Sister Suzy broke my heart but I wasn't very smart
I let her slip beside me all the day
Never known a redhead then could have taken so to sin
When she left I could have swore I heard her say

You may have learnt your lessons well
But you can never ever tell
When the hard times come a crawling through your door
You may have put it all away
For a wet and cloudy day
But you never know when the hard rain's are gonna pour

Some say its lack of pride makes the devil slip and slide
Some say its his thirst for morning dew
Some thing are won and lost before the melt of morning frost
And sometimes its too late to warn the few

And if you ever see me around with my head above the ground
And your lost and left without your crew
Tip me on the shoulder but then don't come that much closer
And I'll sing this little lullaby for you
