Big Brother:Dickey Lee.
#101 on BB Hot 100 on HALL Records
in 1964. (Another tear-jerker from
the Master..D.L.)
INTRO:
#1.
She was seven and I was just ten..
when she moved next door to the house
we lived in.
She followed me around and got in my hair..
wherever I looked, she d be there.
#2.
An awkward little girl with big brown eyes..
she d ask me over for tea and mud pies.
A freckle-faced angel, always in my way..
but I couldn t refuse when she d say..
CHORUS:
Big brother, take me with you..wherever
you re going I want to go, too.
You re so silly, the things that you do..
......
but big brother, how I love you.
#3.
As she grew older, I d take her around..
we d go to the fair when it came to town.
The side-shows and candy would keep us all day..
and when we were late, she would say..
BRIDGE:
Mother, there s no need to worry and fuss..
my big brother can take care of us.
He s like one of our own family..big brother
.....
takes care of me.
#4.
So, the years flew by, then one night in the spring..
all of a sudden she was eighteen.
No longer the little girl I d known all my life..and I
wanted to make her my wife.
#5.
But a few days later, her heart all aglow..in order that
I d be the first one to know.
She brought him over and in her sweet way..she told me of
their wedding day.
OUTRO:
Big brother, I d been so long..but now big brother will
have to be strong.
So, I ll turn and hide these tears in my eyes..I can t let
her see..big..brother..cry.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
