Lily My Dear
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
I've gambled in Texas
Been all around
Stood on the corner
Not a word in my mouth
Seen lots of people
Come rolling by
Throw me a dollar, I could sure use me five
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
I've got no possessions
Money I've saved
All that I'm asking is the dirt on my grave
Honey if you love me
Just let me be
Lord in this life, I can't get no relief
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
No peace for the guilty
No rest for the sinning
When I get out
I'll finally be winning
If the good times don't kill me
Devil, he will
Lay me to rest
On a mockingbird hill
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me die?
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
I've gambled in Texas
Been all around
Stood on the corner
Not a word in my mouth
Seen lots of people
Come rolling by
Throw me a dollar, I could sure use me five
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
I've got no possessions
Money I've saved
All that I'm asking is the dirt on my grave
Honey if you love me
Just let me be
Lord in this life, I can't get no relief
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me cry?
No peace for the guilty
No rest for the sinning
When I get out
I'll finally be winning
If the good times don't kill me
Devil, he will
Lay me to rest
On a mockingbird hill
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
What awful reason, have you come down here?
Is it for money?
Is it for pride?
Or just for the joy of watching me die?
