Hall, Tom T. - Little Brown Suitcase Lyrics
A little brown suitcase at the top of the stairs
Not much to start with and worse for the wear
Mama said Virgil let's thow that away he said no it might come in handy some day
Well first there was Billy Joe then there was Jack
They took that old suitcase but all brought it back
But Lord if that little brown suitcase could talk
Well my brother Quentin the one with a smile
He took that old suitcase and he went to Ohio
And he brought it back on Christmas full of toys and things
And some Bill Monroe records that I soon learned to sing
Well that was the year of 57 and the month of July
When I took that old suitcase and I joined the GI's
I followed the pattern set down by the rest
On the inside of the cover I wrote my address
Well my folks are passed on now I don't know where it's at
And when dad gets to heaven mom won't be alarmed
If he got that old suitcase tucked under his arms

Great song
I don't know why but every time I hear this song I get a lump in my throat!
A great American and one of America’s greatest songwriter singers of all time.
I loved this song . Thanks so much for listening .
Yes. Gerard. Truly great and what a tale he could spin.
One of the greatest singer songwriter of the Greatest country in the world God bless and my God Keep the United States of American safe.
This should have been released as a single. Only Tom could make a hit song about a suitcase, and get you so intensely involved in the story.
Sounds like you have it on vinyl, sure wish I could hear the whole alblum. Summer of '76 had this on both vinyl and 8 track.The piano in this is awesome, Dad liked him so much he won tickets to see him perform in Dayton Ohio too.
Thanks so much for listening. Love this song.
Tom T.. what a master. He takes snippets of life that we overlook and yet that we all relate to. A story of family and tradition and the little things in life that bind us together.
Thanks for posting!
