Youâre old, Lilly Hoskins
And your headâs bending low
As you sit by your window
While the years come and go
Do you think of the old days
When your world was new
And you danced with your lover
âNeath the pale harvest moon
And the band was playing
In three-quarter time
Are you still there dancing
Through the rooms of your mind
Are the fiddles still playing
So sweet and low
Oh, Lilly Hoskins
Iâd like to know
Did you hear Davy Watson
Passed away today
He died in his sleep
Oh, it was better that way
Donât cry, Lilly Hoskins
For youâll meet again
And youâll dance with each other
Like you did back then
And the band will be playing
In three-quarter time
Thereâll be no more dancing
Just in your mind
And the fiddles will play
So sweet and low
Good-bye, Lilly Hoskins
I have to go
Donât cry, Lilly Hoskins
I thought you should know
