Kunci: G major
Verse 1
G
I've always been strangely comforted
by songs of tragedy and disaster
and here is one of my favorites.
It actually goes back to the 1800s
like a lot of the music of
Stephen Collins Foster.
It's an old Victorian parlor song
called Put My Little Shoes Away.
D
G
It is a story about what I like to call the quintessential
Dickensian dying child lying in bed
and with his or her last breath
thinking of others leaving
this world
that the grown -ups
have made such a mess of too
good for this world
and it would have died
like the child on that bed
back in the Victorian parlor
had it not been for guys like Bill Monroe
and the Stanley brothers
and others
who brought this song into
the 20th century
and it became part of the
bluegrass repertoire
and I'd like to do it for you now,
D
Put My Little Shoes Away.
