D
I have lost my blue-eyed darling,
G D
Now I sit with a broken heart
D A
By my cabin in the Carolina hills
D
Oh I loved a 'shiner's daughter
G D
Loved her true with all my heart
D A D
'til she fell into her pappy's liquor still
D
Oh what a waste of good corn liquor
D A
From the still they pulled the plug
D G D
Now the revenuers snickered 'cause she melted in the liquor
D A D
And they had to bury poor Lilly by the jug
D
Cousin Cale upon the juice harp
G D
Played a mighty mournful tune
D A
As the kinfolks bowed their heads and gathered round
D
Then I heard the parson sing
G Bm
Drink me only with thine eyes
D A D
As we watch them pour poor Lilly in the ground
D
Oh what a waste of good corn liquor
D A
From the still they pulled the plug
D G D
Now the revenuers snickered 'cause she melted in the liquor
D A D
And they had to bury poor Lilly by the jug
D
Now I'm sitting in the twilight
G D
'neath the weeping willow tree
D A
And the sun is slowly sinking in the west
D
And I'm clasping to my bosom
G D
A little jug of Lilly Mae
D A D
With a broken heart I'm longing for the rest
D
Oh what a waste of good corn liquor
D A
From the still they pulled the plug
D G D
Now the revenuers snickered 'cause she melted in the liquor
D A D
And they had to bury poor Lilly by the jug
