In Texas where there is a town
That's known by all the world around
The town where Lily came
And Langtry is its name

The law it was Judge Roy Bean
Oh, black his heart and dirty, mean
The hangin' judge's name
His hangin' tree of shame

He loved
Lily Langtry
Lovely Lily Langtry
Beautiful miss Lily
Lily Langtry was her name

Oh, how he longed to meet her
Ready he was to meet her
Softly lily's face
His every wall did grace

But one day a coach come ridin'
High-steppin' stallions guidin'
At the stroke of noon
It stopped at his saloon
Out stеpped
Lily Langtry
Lovely Lily Langtry
Beautiful miss Lily
Lily Langtry was hеr name

Lily smiled at him so sweetly
Kissed his cheek so neatly
Back she quickly swept
When up Joe Rio stepped

The drunken gunman's eyes were gleamin'
Last he heard was Lily's screamin'
Fast the Judge's law
But faster still his draw

All for Lily Langtry
Lovely Lily Langtry
Beautiful Miss Lily
Lily Langtry was her name


In Langtry when they tell the story
Speak of his day of glory
When Miss Lily came
They say he spoke her name
On the day that he lay dyin'
Softly his lips were sighin'
Better to die like this
Knowin' the Lily's kiss

He loved Lily Langtry
Lovely Lily Langtry
Beautiful Miss Lily
Lily Langtry was 'er name
