Underneath the lantern by the barrack Gate darling I remember where you use to wait Was there that you whispered tenderly that you love me You'd always be my lily of the lamp light my own Lilly Marlene Time had come for roll call time for us to bye Darling i can rescue and press you to my heart And then neath that isle of lantern light I'd hold you tight We'd kiss good night my Lilly of the lamp light my own Lilly Marlene Orders came for sailing somewhere over there All confined to barracks was more that i could bare I knew you where waiting in the Street i heard your feet but could not meet My Lilly of the lamp light my own Lilly Marlene Resting in the billet just behind the line Even though were parted your lips are close to mine You wait where the lanterns softly gleams Your sweet face seems to haunts my dreams My Lilly of the lamp light my own Lilly Marlene
