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
