I remember back in Illinois I found her |
|
The lily of the valley the lily of the West was a rose |
|
The daughter of the biggest big town banker |
|
He kept her like a princess, I stole her like the Fort Knox gold |
|
She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney |
|
Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow |
|
She's up on the table when we hit Missouri |
|
Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close |
|
La didi da da da da da da da |
|
La didi da da da da da da da |
|
He made her the star of the silent movies |
|
But all she did was mouth the words all she did was mouth the words, "Oh no!" |
|
And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff's worst enemy |
|
I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows |
|
La didi da da da da da da da |
|
La didi da da da da da da da |
|
The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks |
|
I was up there with the extras riding on a tiger roan |
|
The villain on the left with the studio mustache |
|
Winking at Lillian, blowing kisses from the second row |
|
La didi da da da da da da da |
|
La didi da da da da da da da |
