Lyrics

[Studio Dialogue] Leonard Chess: Go ahead, we're rolling; take one. What's the name of this? Sonny Boy Williamson: Little Village. A little village, motherfucker! A little village! Leonard Chess: There's isn't a mother fuckin' thing there about a village, you son of a bitch! Nothin' in the song has got anything to do with a village! Sonny Boy Williamson: Well, a small town! Leonard Chess: I know what a village is! Sonny Boy Williamson: Well all right, goddamn it! You know, you don't need no title! You name it after I gotta get through with it, son of a bitch! You name it what you wanna. You name it your mammy if ya wanna! Leonard Chess: Ha ha! Take one, rollin' Sonny Boy Williamson: Mm-mm. It's too fast, baby [Verse 1] I stopped in a little place, too small to be a village And not large enough to be a town Yeah, it's a little place too small to be a village And too large enough to be a town Yeah, not large enough to be a village And too small to be a town But I fell in love with a small little chick That one night she takin' me down [Verse 2] She had a cruise, cool apartment And she invited me around She had a crool, cozy little apartment And she invited me around After the night was over I just had to stick around Well, alright!! [Harmonica solo 1] [Verse 3] I trust my baby And I know something fine Yes, I know The little girl is nice 'n' kind She had a swell little apartment That's when she'd invite me down [Verse 4] Her nice disposition And I couldn't turn her down Her nice cool position And I could not turn her down I know little place too small to be a village And not large enough to be a town Yeah, yeah, yeah [Harmonica solo 2] [Verse 5] Goodbye, baby I would just like to stick around Goodbye, baby I would just like to stick around Well I've got to leave you now 'Cause tomorrow I'm Chicago bound
