Lillian, Egypt Lyrics - Josh Ritter

I remember back in Illinois I found her 

The lily of the valley the lily of the 

West was a rose The daughter of the biggest big town banker 

He kept her like a princess I stole her like the Fort Knox gold 

She used to pour Four Roses like it was going down the chimney 

Like the bottle was on fire or the boiler was about to blow 

She was up on the table when we hit Missouri 

Dancing with a movie man he was holding her a little too close 

La didi da da da da da da da!

He made her the star of the silent movies 

But all she did was mouth the words all she did was mouth the words, "Oh no!" 

And he cast me as the villain as the sheriff's worst enemy 

I practiced falling off of buildings and out windows 

La didi da da da da da da da!

The last time I saw she was tied to the train tracks 

I was back there with the extras riding on a tiger roan 

The villain on the left with the studio mustache 

Winking at Lillian blowing kisses from the second row 

La didi da da da da da da da!
