Lily of the Valley Songtext

von David Olney

Down the mountains through the valley
Runs a river deep and wide I can see her 'cross the water
Over on the other side
She is smiling, she is laughing
As she waves her hand to me
She's my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennesse

When the wintertime is over
And the season turns to Spring
In the fields of greenest clover I will hear the robin sing
The dogwoods will be holding forth In all their majesty
For my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennessee

She's my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennessee
She's as pretty as a princess
In her fancy finery
When she puts her arms around me
It means all the world to me
She's my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennesse

Bluebonnets grow in Texas
They are lovely I am sure
But when I'm with my Lilly
I could long for nothing more
The moon, the sun, the stars that shine
In heaven's gallery
Love my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennessee

She's my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennessee
She's as pretty as a princess
In her fancy finery
When she puts her arms around me
It means all the world to me
She's my Lilly of the valley
From the state of Tennesse
