I've Got a Little Secret
Re: I've Got a Little Secret
Thanks Linda,
I don't think he's finished with changing the song yet either! Get ready for version three! Maybe we'll see that first in Australia

Re: I've Got a Little Secret
Thanks a lot for the transcript; it is great to see the lyrics evolving!
At the concert I actually thought he sang “but I am stuck –up in the snow” after the Mallorca line.
(Which seemed a little weird to me, as this is probably the last thing he is.)

Re: I've Got a Little Secret
Well, this is version three - Australia will maybe see another one
As usual, all suggestions are welcome. I'm not sure about this line "Ah, yuh promise not to tell".
Amsterdam 20th September 2013 – last concert in Europe.
I’ve Got A Little Secret
I’ve got a little secret
If you promise not to tell
I said, I’ve got a little secret
You’ve got to promise not to tell
You see, I made a date in Heaven
But I’ve been keepin’ it in Hell
I’d like to love you baby
It just don’t feel right
I would, I’d like to love you baby
It just don’t feel right
You see, I’ve got this full length mirror
Oh Lord, and it ain’t a pretty sight
I’ve got a little secret
You’ve got to promise not to tell
I’ve got a little secret
You’ve got to promise not to tell
I made a date in Heaven
Oh Lord, but I’ve been keepin’ it in Hell
(Mitch’s guitar - with audience clapping - UHTC crew come on stage)
I’d like to hold you baby
But my arms are old and weak
I would, I like to hold you baby
My arms are old and weak
I was listenin’ to your story, Oh Lord
But I guess I fell asleep
(audience clapping continuing )
I’ve got a little secret
You’ve got to promise not to tell (LC says about the UHTC crew: “these are our people”)
I’ve got a little secret
Ah, yuh promise not to tell
You see, I made a date in Heaven
Oh Lord, but I’ve been keepin’ it in Hell
(LC says: “these are all the folks that made the concert, made the tour possible; so grateful to everyone of them”)
It’s kinda chilly in your kitchen
It must be ten below
It’s kinda chilly in your kitchen
It must be ten below
I bought a ticket for the tropics
I must have left it in the snow
I’ve got a little secret
You’ve got to promise not to tell
I said, I’ve got a little secret
Promise not to tell
I made a date in Heaven
Oh Lord, but I’ve been keepin’ it in Hell

I’ve Got A Little Secret

I’ve got a little secret
If you promise not to tell
I do, I have a little secret
You got to promise not to tell
I made a date in Heaven
But I’ve been keepin’ it in Hell
I’d like to hold you baby
But my arms are old and weak
I’d like to hold you baby
But my arms are old and weak
I was listenin’ to your story
But I guess I fell asleep

It’s kind of chilly in your kitchen
It must be ten below
It’s kind of chilly in your kitchen

I bought a ticket for Townsville
I must have lost it in the snow
I’ve got a little secret
If you promise not to tell
I’ve got a little secret
You’ve got to promise not to tell
I made a date in Heaven
But I’ve been keepin’ it in Hell
I made a date in Heaven

Re: I've Got a Little Secret
Thanks- odd they took it out. Maybe LC has produced a new version and wants to keep it for the next album?
