Lyrics

I grew up in alabama in a valley I called home
And I learned to love sweet lilly from the start
But I had to do my duty yes I had to do my part
But the thought of leaving lilly breaks my heart

If this war could just be over and I could go back home
If I could hold and kiss her once again
Then if I should die tomorrow after loving her tonight
Then I would not feel my life had been in vain

Cause she's my lilly of the valley
And I want her for my wife
She's my lilly of the valley
I guess I've loved lilly almost all my life all my life
