Boots and Stetsons and six guns
And the lilies grow high
They grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand
Who before his time must die
They grow on a trail he has traveled,
A trail well covered with blood
They weep for the graves of many men
They weep for the men now dead
A woman may love him but she
Knows soon above him
Are lilies gonna grow high
Then like that lily she'll bow down her head,
Bow down her poor head and cry
On some boot hill they will bury him
His legend will fade in the wind
The lilies will nod and gently weep
For another gunman's end
Boots and Stetsons and six guns
(Boots and Stetson and six guns...)
...And the lilies grow high...
And the lilies grow high
They grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand
Who before his time must die
They grow on a trail he has traveled,
A trail well covered with blood
They weep for the graves of many men
They weep for the men now dead
A woman may love him but she
Knows soon above him
Are lilies gonna grow high
Then like that lily she'll bow down her head,
Bow down her poor head and cry
On some boot hill they will bury him
His legend will fade in the wind
The lilies will nod and gently weep
For another gunman's end
Boots and Stetsons and six guns
(Boots and Stetson and six guns...)
...And the lilies grow high...
