To the land of wild lilies Would you please give in and go To Nether Town before tide is low We will ride across the seas I will beg the wind to blow A most gentle breeze to swell our brazen Cotton wings and then we'll flow With the mermaids blue sorrows She faced the land Repressed a smile So much for her contempt She threw a flower And pinched herself hard Would you please give in and go To Nether Town before tide is low We will ride across the seas To the land of wild lilies She braved the sea Restrained a scream So much for her distress She blew a kiss And pinched herself hard She faced the land Repressed a smile She threw a flower She braved the sea Restrained a scream (We will always go to Nether Town) She faced the land (Across the seas grow the wild lilies) Repressed a smile (We will always go to Nether Town) She braved the sea (Then we‘ll flow with the mermaids blue sorrows) She braved the sea
