Those hands I'd know when you're too old Those blue eyes see through me And those words you say have been engraved Like a heart carved into a tree You laugh you sing your laughter rings I slept by you one night And I lay real close the thorn and the rose Solomon's verse in light Lillie Belle You're a flower in the Spring You're a June bug ready to fly I know it's true I'm a lot like you You're an arrow shot through the sky Life's been bitter and life's been sweet And still you've carried on A strong backbone a woman all alone Who conquered the storms of life Lillie Belle You're a flower in the Spring You're a June bug ready to fly I know it's true I'm a lot like you You're an arrow shot through the sky Double pat hand clap Dance your Junie jig Slide your taps against the floor And circle back again Rock your chair in the humid air You got babies at your feet Cut the rug ol' Junie bug Then sing us all to sleep Kentucky pearl a Southern girl Your journey's led you home And while you sleep You're a dancin' in my dreams I love you though you're gone Lillie Belle You're a flower in the Spring You're a June bug ready to fly I know it's true I'm a lot like you You're an arrow shot through the sky Oh Lillie Belle You're a flower in the Spring You're a June bug ready to fly I know it's true I'm a lot like you You're an arrow shot through the sky
