Lilly Of The Valley 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 leavin' 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 lovin' 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
