Sons of the Pioneers - Lillies Grow High lyrics

Artist: Sons of the Pioneers

album: Red River Valley


Boots and Stetson and six guns
And the lilies grow high
They grow for a man with a gun-slingin' hand
That before his time must die
They grow in the trail he has traveled
A trail well-spattered with lead
They weep for the graves of the many men
They weep for the men now dead
He rides along lonely, no friends but only
The lilies growin' high
All men seemed to fear him, not one will go near him
He knows the reason why
His name and fame spread before him
Like a carpet of death he knows
One day, he'll be slow on the draw and then
For him, a lily will grow
A woman may love him, though she knows soon above him
The lilies' growin' high
Then like the lily, she'll bow down her head
Bow down her poor head and cry
On some boot hill, they will lay him
And the headboard will sway in the wind
A lily will nod and gently weep
For another gunmen's end
Boots and Stetson and six guns
And the lilies grow high
