(início)

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.
