Fun little folk piece with lots of instruments popping in and out.
Lyrics
Little Man Willie stood tall in a crowd Got up every morning and eastward he bowed Head bent and bridled, onward he plowed Lead by his passions and fooled by his dreams And "never" was always the choice, so it seemed Little Man Willie had tricks up his sleeve He had chimes and bells to ring heaven He looked down the pit into hell And he laughed for the man who was crying and He cried for the man who was well The rain lasted weeks, maybe months, so they say And no one saw Willie eight weeks and a day The women and children all started to pray Old Man Winter he calls from the north A stowaway stranger, all bearded and coarse He know of Willie, and of him he spoke He had chimes and bells to ring heaven He looked down the pit into hell And he laughed for the man who was crying and He cried for the man who was well He had chimes and bells to ring heaven He went down the pit into hell And he caught the man who was falling 'Cause he was a man who had fell A man who had fell
