Little River lighted whistle, cry no more

Sleepy sound from the breakers calling me back to shore

Whistle it soft to the silver river

Em                     Bm
Whistle it loud to the drumming sea

Not to me, never to me

But I'm swinging high in another country, swinging low

Playing it easy, the dolphins follow me where I go

She'll remember, she was the one
[Verse]

Spring comes warm over Little River, storm comes black

I was headed home when the Indian Giver took me back
[Chorus]
C                      Bm
Whistle it high to the greybeard breakers

          Em              Bm
Where the secret over the great shoals ran

Em                         Am
Whistle the world that was in my pocket

When I had pockets, when I was a man

I was headed home when the Indian Giver took me back

          Em              Bm
Where the secret over the great shoals ran

Em                         Am
Whistle the world that was in my pocket

Bm         Am       C      Bm    Am     D
When I had pockets, when I was a man
