Since originally recording a version of Little John on my debut EP, I revisited the song and added another verse and different musical arrangements for Ghosts Be Free.

lyrics

Little John cried out in the morning / Snow wet from the spring time sun / Mothers gone, her train came early / Never held her new born son / Some child is born of silver / Some child is born of mud / No hand from death delivered / No tale not told in blood / Go west when the field runs fallow / Far from the church and law / No hat and a coat that’s borrowed / King of spades and the luck of draw
