Вступление
[Verse 1]
Am
There was a wealthy merchant,
Am
In London he did dwell.
Am
He had an onli daughter,
E Am
And the truth to you I’ll tell.
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
[Verse 2]
Am
Her sweetheart left the country,
Am
With trouble on his mind
Am
A leavin’ of his family
E Am
And his own true love behind.
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
[Verse 3]
Am
This girl, she dressed herself
Am
All up in men’s array
Am
And to the war department
E Am
Straight way she marched away
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
[Verse 4]
Am
“Your waist is slim and slender,
Am
Your fingers they are small,
Am
Your cheeks too red and rosy
E Am
To face the cannon ball.”
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
[Verse 5]
Am
“I know my waist is slender,
Am
My fingers they are small
Am
But it would not make me tremble
E Am
To see ten thousand fall.”
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
[Verse 6]
Am
When the war soon was over,
Am
This girl, she searched the ground
Am
Among the dead and wounded,
E Am
Till her own true love she found.
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
[Verse 7]
Am
This couple they got married,
Am
So well they did agree
Am
This couple, they got married
E Am
So, why not you and me.
E Am
Play the lily o, play the lily o.
