Lili Marlene

Underneath the lantern by the barrack's gate

Darling I remember the way you used to wait

Twas there that you whispered tenderly that you love me you'd always be

My lily of the left line my own Lili Marlene

Time would come for roll call time for us to part

Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart

And there neath the fire of lantern light I'd hold you tight you kiss goodnight

My lily of the left line my own Lili Marlene
