shorty long - lillie of the valley lyrics

[intro]
(lillie, lillie, lillie
the lillie of the valley, woo)

[verse 1]
you know at the bottom, possum hill
a skinny little girl cryin’ in the field
she had mopsy hair, and her dusty blue jeans were
coming apart from nearly all the seams
i said, “hey, little girl, you look downright silly”
and she said, “everybody calls me scarecrow lillie”
so i wiped the tears and i brushed off the hay
and i could tell that girl was gonna blossom one day
[pre+chorus]
oh, you know i could’ve chose rose
and black i choose, when i didn’t mind losin’ [?]
and violet wasn’t hard to forget
but don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
hey, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know

[chorus]
whеn i picked lillie (lillie, lilliе, lillie)
i picked the lillie of the valley (the lillie of the valley)
when i picked lillie (lillie, lillie, lillie)
oh, i picked the lillie of the valley, oh! (the lillie of the valley, woo)

[verse 2]
she started growin’ up and blossomin’ out
she had a long ponytail, she loved to toss about
so i hurried up and got a job and started making preparations
for a ring and a car, and a big plantation

[pre+chorus]
because, oh, but we was talking fast and sweet
and poured the night, it was so conniving
when they heard it through the vine that she was mine
don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
people, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know
[chorus]
they knew if i got lillie (lillie, lillie, lillie)
i’d have the lillie of the valley (the lillie of the valley)
when i got lillie (lillie, lillie, lillie)
i stole the lillie of the valley, oh! (the lillie of the valley, woo)

[verse 3]
you know i loved that girl when she was skin and bone
when everybody else had left her sittin’ all alone
well, i loved that girl when she was climbin’ trees
and now she’s standin’ in the kitchen, cookin’ black+eyed peas

[chorus]
oh, lillie (lillie, lillie, lillie)
sweet, sweet, sweet lillie (the lillie of the valley)
you know i stole the lillie of the valley (lillie, lillie, lillie)
i said when i got lillie (the lillie of the valley, woo)

i stole the lillie of the valley
