Would you like to hear the story of a girl that
many soldiers know It's a tale of love and all its
glory they tell it when the lights're soft and low
Underneath the lamp post by the barrack's gate
Standing all alone every night you see her wait
She waits for her boy who marched away and though
he's gone she hears him say Oh promise you'll be
true fare Thee well Lily Marlene Till I'll return
to you fare Thee well Lily Marlene With the kiss
she gave her promise to be constant as the stars
above Every soldier knows she kept her promise and
she's been faithful to her love Underneath the
lamp post by the barrack's gate Standing all alone
every night you see her wait For this is the place

Marlene piano
Although each tale must have an ending no one
knows just what the end will be But tonight when
twilight is descending if you will come along
here's what you'll see Underneath the lamp post by
the barrack's gate Standing all alone each night
you see her wait And as they go marching to the
prey the soldiers all salute and say We'll tell
him you've been true fare Thee well Lily Marlene
Till he returns to you fare Thee well Lily Marlene
