Lila Mae

Sweet Lila Mae, I remember the girl

Beautiful and blind to the ways of the world

Pure as the prayers I still send up for you

Prayin' these days is all I know to do

'Cause you look for warmth in the cold arms of night

In the dark of the valley through the dim Broadway lights

Where perfume and whiskey persuade minds of men

Oh sweet Lila Mae, don't give way to the sin

Sweet sweet Lila Mae

Come back home before it's too late

Oh, please please Lila Mae

Remember the vows that you made

There ain't no rules on the devil's playground

And you can't see straight on his merry-go-round

The ticket is free but the price paid is high

Oh sweet Lila Mae, don't you get on that ride

Sweet sweet Lila Mae

Come back home before it's too late

Oh, please please Lila Mae

Remember the vows that you made

Sweet sweet Lila Mae

Come back home before it's too late

Oh, please please Lila Mae

Remember the vows that you made

Oh, sweet Lila Mae, I remember the girl

Beautiful and blind to the ways of the world

Pure as the prayers I still send up for you

Prayin' these days is all I know to do
