Oh, Lilly, sweet Lilly, oh Lilly fare you well,

voiceCollected by Joe Moore Sung by Mr. D. L. (Lon) Moore For M. C. Parler Fayetteville, Arkansas January 3, 1965 Reel 380, Item 4 Sweet Lilly Oh, Lilly, sweet Lilly, oh Lilly fare you well, I'm sorry to leave you, I love you so well. Your parents don't like me, they say I am too poor, They say I'm not worthy to enter your door. Some say I drink whiskey, my money is my own, And those that don't like me can just let me alone. My foot's in my stirrup, my bridle's in my hand, I'll go court another in a far distant land. Oh Lilly, sweet Lilly, oh Lilly fare you well, I'm sorry to leave you I love you so well. 16Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
