Refrain:
Little David, play on your harp,
Hallelu! Hallelu!
Little David, play on your harp, Hallelu!
Little David, play on your harp,
Hallelu! Hallelu!
Little David, play on your harp, Hallelu!
1 Little David was a shepherd boy,
He killed Goliath and shouted for joy. [Refrain]
2 Joshua was the son of Nun,
He never would quit till the work was done [Refrain]
3 Done told you once, done told you twice,
There're sinners in hell for shooting dice. [Refrain]
