[ Featuring The Rain ]
Used to see her in the field ....crawling on her knees|Last breath of winter....blowing thru the trees|Her weathered hands looked like a desert ....Soiled with the ground|Day after day all summer long ....that's where she could be found ||Chorus|Ohhhh sing sweet Lilly it's harvest time again|And there's enough food to feed your family and your friends|Ohh sing sweet Lilly your silver queen is high your smiles as bright and your hearts as big as the last September sky||Zeke worked the copper mines... in the red mountain clay|Her strength and provider ....until the mines took him away|Broke her heart when she layed him down..... just up on the hill|In the Carolina night wind ....you can hear him singing still||Chorus|||In the long cold winter months ....there no time to miss the soil|Her sweet trembling hands ....never cease to toil|The wood is cut and stacked....just outside the door|It's a secret so well kept.... who the new quilt will be for|Chorus|The fields are empty.... and the house is quiet now|Weeds are in the garden.... and there's rust upon the plow|Finally she rest ...beside Zeke up on the hill|In the Carolina night winds ....you can hear them singin still||Bridge |She smelled like the earth|She aged like wine|The only enemy|She ever had was time.||Chorus |Ist 2 lines
