sam amidon - lily-o lyrics
there were three ladies playin’ at ball
oh, lily+o
there were three lawyers come a+courtin’ them all
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
the first one came all dressed in white
oh, lily+o
come callin’ for his heart’s delight
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
the next one came all dressed in red
come callin’ for to see her wed
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
the third one came all dressed in blue
said “oh my love, i’ve come for you”
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
oh, you must ask my father dear
oh, lily+o
and you must ask my mother too
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
and you must ask my sister ann
oh, lily+o
and you must ask my brother john
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
oh, i have asked your father dear
oh, lily+o
oh, i have asked your mother too
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
and i have asked your sister ann
oh, lily+o
your brother john i did forget
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
her father led her down the stairs
oh, lily+o
her mother led her to the door
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
her sister led her to the block
oh, lily+o
her brother john to help her up
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
as she lay down to kiss him sweet
oh, lily+o
all with his knife he stabbed her deep
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
ride on, ride on, my daughter dear
oh, lily+o
no, i must lie and bleed and die
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
they carried her up to yon green hill
oh, lily+o
laid her down to write her will
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
oh, what will you leave to your father dear
oh, lily+o
my house and land that i leave here
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
oh, what will you leave to your mother dear
oh, lily+o
these bl++dy clothes that i do wear
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
oh, what will you leave to your sister ann
oh, lily+o
my silver rings and golden fan
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
oh, what will you leave to your brother john
oh, lily+o
the rope and gallows to hang him on
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
and what will you leave to your brother john’s wife
oh, lily+o
pain and sorrow all her life
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
and what will you leave to your brother john’s son
oh, lily+o
this great wide world to wander upon
lily+o, sweet hi+oh
