She sat 'neath the lilacs and played her guitar, Played her guitar, played her guitar. She sat 'neath the lilacs and played her guitar, Played her "Gi - tah - hah - hah - har"
He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar, Smoked his cigar, smoked his cigar, He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar, Smoked his "Ci - gah - hah - hah - har"
She said that she loved him and Oh, how she sighed! Oh, how she sighed! Oh, how she sighed! She said that she loved him and Oh, how she sighed! Oh, how she "Si - hi - hi - hi'd"
He said that he loved her, but Oh, how he lied! Oh, how he lied! Oh, how he lied! He said that he loved her, but Oh, how he lied! Oh, how he "Lie - eye - eye - eyed"
They were to be married but She up and died, She up and died, She up and died, They were to be married but She up and died, She up and "die - eye - eye - eyed"
He went to the funeral, but just for the ride, Just for the ride, Just for the ride. He went to the funeral, but just for the ride, Just for the "Ri-eye-eye-eyed"
He sat by her tombstone and Laughed 'til he cried, Laughed 'til he cried, Laughed 'til he cried, He sat by her tombstone and Laughed 'til he cried, Laughed 'til he cried.
The tombstone fell over, and Squish, Squash he died, Squish, Squash he died, Squish, Squash he died The tombstone fell over, and Squish, Squash he died, Squish, squash, he "Die-eye-eye-eyed"
The moral of this tune is "Don't tell a lie", "Don't tell a lie", "Don't tell a lie", The moral of this tune is "Don't tell a lie", "Don't tell a 'Lie-eye-eye-eye!'"
