The Lilies Grow High
Stanley Davis Jones
[Verse 1]
Boots and Stetsons
A six gun and lilies grow high
They grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand
Who before his time must die
Must die
[Bridge]
They grow on the trail that he's riding
A trail well spattered with lead
One day he'll be slow on the draw, and then
For him, a lily will grow
[Verse 2]
A woman may love him, but she knows
Soon above him the lilies grow high
No one will go near him, they all seem to fear him
And knows the reason why
Why
[Verse 3]
Boots and Stetsons
A six gun and lilies grow high
They grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand
Who before his time must die
Must die
[Outro]
Must die
