Lily my darling
Lily my dear
For 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
For 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
Ive got no possessions
No money I've saved
All that I'm asking
Is for dirt on my grave
So 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
For 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
The devil he will
Lay me to rest on Mockingbird Hill
Lily my darling
Lily my dear
For 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
