Song lyrics
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind,
That's running wild.
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairytales,

That's all she ever thinks about ...

Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free.

It's alright, she says,
It's alright;
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.

Fly on, little wing.

oh so do i...in fact SRV plays it better...then turns it into a 7 minute long blues jam which is awesome...but SRV ain't singin on his version...which is hard as hell with that tune...man SRV does totally retool that song on guitar though..

Derek and the Dominoes did a really good version of Little Wing on Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs too. But nothing will ever beat the Hendrix version.

You can find some bootleg versions of little wing online where stevie ray vaughan does sing it. Someone told me it was him singing anyway. I wasn't too sure if it sounded like him or not.

The alternate recording of this song that's on The Jimi Hendrix Experience Box Set is incredible, this version though is very very beautiful.
Frank Zappa also covered it too, sounds pretty. At least I think it was him.

This song not only has beautiful lyrics.. the guitar is beautiful. It says so much more than words do in this song. I really love this song. I cannot stop listening to it. Everytime I listen to it.. I sit here and think about what he was thinking when he came up with the guitar to it.. it's so ... beautiful. It's unexplainable..
