_ _ Underneath the _ [C] lintern by the [D] _ _ _ barricade, _ Darling, I remember the way [G] you used to wait.
[C] It was there that you _ [G] whispered _ _ _ _ [C] tenderly, That you [D] loved me [G] and _ always [C] be
_ _ _ [D] My Lily _ [G] of the Land, _ _ _
_ [C] my _ [D] own Lily, [G] my _ lady. _ _ _

would come for [Em] all, call time for [D] us to part, _ Darling, I'd caress you and press [G] you to my heart.
[C] And _ beneath that [G] flower of lantern _ _ light, [C] I'd [D] hold you _ tight [G] with kiss _ goodnight.
[Em] _ My [D] Lily _ [G] of the Land, _ _ _
_ _ [C] my [D] own Lily.

_ _ _ Otis came for [Em] sailing _ somewhere [D] over there, _ All [G] [D] confined to _ barracks was more than [G] I could bear.
I knew you were waiting _ in the _ [Em] street, _ Heard [D] your _ [G] feet but could not _ meet.
[C] My Lily [D] _
_ [G] of the _ Land, my [Em] _ _ own _ [D] Lily, [G] my lady.

Resting in a _ [Em] billet [C]
just [D] behind the _ line, Even though we're _ parted, your lips are [G] close to mine.
[Em] [C] You wait where that [G] lantern _ _ _ softly _ [Em] gleams, Your sweet [D] face _ [Em] seems to haunt my _ dreams.
[C] My _
[D] Lily [G] of the _ Land, _ _ _ [C] my _ [D] own Lily, [G] _ my lady.
