Sweet Lillie
Used to see her in the field ...crawling on her knees Last breath of winter... blowing thru the trees Her weathered hands looked like a desert ...Soiled with the ground Day after day all summer long ...that's where she could be found
Ohhhh sing sweet Lillie it's harvest time again And there's enough food to feed your family and your friends Ohh sing sweet Lillie your silver queen is high Your smiles as bright and your hearts as big as the last September sky
Zeak worked the copper mines... in the red mountain clay Her strength and provider ...until the mines took him away Broke her heart when she layed him down... just up on the hill In the Carolina night wind ...you can hear him singing still
Ohhhh sing sweet Lillie it's harvest time again And there's enough food to feed your family and your friends Ohh sing sweet Lillie your silver queen is high Your smiles as bright and your hearts as big as the last September sky
In the long cold winter months ...there no time to miss the soil Her sweet trembling hands ...never cease to toil The wood is cut and stacked... just outside the door Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com It's a secret so well kept... who the new quilt will be for
Ohhhh sing sweet Lillie it's harvest time again And there's enough food to feed your family and your friends Ohh sing sweet Lillie your silver queen is high Your smiles as bright and your hearts as big as the last September sky
The fields are empty... and the house is quiet now Weeds are in the garden... and there's rust upon the plow Finally she rest ...beside Zeak up on the hill In the Carolina night winds ...you can hear them singing still
She smelled like the earth She aged like wine The only enemy She ever had was time
Ohhhh sing sweet Lillie it's harvest time again And there's enough food to feed your family and your friends Ohh sing sweet Lillie your silver queen is high Your smiles as bright and your hearts as big as the last September sky.
