《When Lilly Was Queen》歌词

[00:00:00] When Lilly Was Queen - Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show

[00:00:00] Lilly pearl standin' by the woodstove

[00:00:03] Cookin' up a pot of fatback and beans

[00:00:06] Aprons made outta martha white flour sack

[00:00:09] Them was the days when lilly was queen

[00:00:17] There's gonna be a family reunion

[00:00:19] Down around little river park

[00:00:22] Lilly got a brand new baby they say

[00:00:25] Jesse brown had to up and run away

[00:00:28] It might as well rain 'cause nobody came

[00:00:31] Jesse left so fast the baby got no name

[00:00:35] Lilly pearl what'cha gonna name your baby baby baby

[00:00:41] Lilly pearl what'cha gonna name your child

[00:00:47] Lilly pearl they say he run away and left you crazy crazy crazy

[00:00:52] But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile

[00:01:04] Lilly pearl told most folks

[00:01:07] She could raise her baby fine without a man

[00:01:10] But she cried at the table to her kin folk

[00:01:13] Her people cried with her but did they understand

[00:01:26] Lilly pearl still standin' by the woodstove

[00:01:29] Talkin' to a pot of fatback and beans

[00:01:32] Twenty years later still cookin' a spread

[00:01:34] But there's no reunion 'cause the family's mostly dead

[00:01:38] They took her baby at the age of 13

[00:01:40] Left her livin' in the days when lilly was queen

[00:01:45] Lilly pearl did you ever name your baby baby baby baby

[00:01:51] Lilly pearl do you ever miss your child

[00:01:57] Lilly pearl his daddy run away and left you crazy crazy crazy

[00:02:02] But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile

[00:02:08] Lilly pearl you never gonna know your baby baby baby

[00:02:14] Lilly pearl they never let you see your child
