Chorus.—Oh, Lillie! &c.
’Twas last eve I saw her beckon,
Far up in the azure sky,
Bidding me to quickly hasten
To her new-found home on high.
Then, darkies, take me quickly, take me
Where the tall bananas wave;
For my heart will cease its sighing
Near my Lillie’s lonely grave.
Chorus.—Oh, Lillie! &c.
