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

Who black as often dirty mean

The 'angin' Judge's name

His 'angin' tree is shame

He loved Lily Langtry

Lovely Lily Langtry

Beautiful Miss Lily

Lily Langtry was 'er name

Oh 'ow he longed to meet her

Ready he was to greet her

Softly Lily's face

His ev'ry warning grace

One day a coack come ridin'

'Igh-steppin' stallions guidin'

At the stroke o' noon

It stopped at his saloon

Out stepped Lily Langtry

Lovely Lily Langtry

Beautiful Miss Lily

Lily Langtry was 'er 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 'e 'eard 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 'er 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 'e lay dyin'

Softly 'is 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
