Lillies Grow High Lyrics - Faron Young

(Stan Jones) 

Boots and Stetson 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 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.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

He rides along lonely, no friends 

But only the lilies growin' high 

All men seem to fear him, not one will go near him 

And he knows the reason why. 

His name and fame spread before him 

Like a carpet of death and 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 boothill they will lay him 

And a headboard will sway in the wind 

The lily will nod and gently weep 

For another gunman's end.
