Faron Young - Lillies Grow High Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (Stan Jones)
  • Boots and Stetson and six guns
  • And the lilies grow high
  • They grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand
  • Who before his time must die.
  • They grow in the trail he has traveled
  • A trail well spattered with lead
  • They weep for the graves of the many
  • Men they weep for the men now dead.
  • He rides along lonely, no friends
  • But only the lilies growin' high
  • All men seem to fear him, not one will go near him
  • And he knows the reason why.
  • His name and fame spread before him
  • Like a carpet of death and he knows
  • One day he'll be slow on the draw
  • And then for him a lily will grow.
  • A woman may love him though she knows
  • Soon above him the lilies growin' high
  • Then like the lily she'll bow down her head
  • Bow down her poor head and cry.
  • On some boothill they will lay him
  • And a headboard will sway in the wind
  • The lily will nod and gently weep
  • For another gunman's end.
  • Boots and Stetson and six guns
  • And the lilies grow high
  • Boots and Stetson and six guns
  • And the lilies grow high...
