Pickalilly Lane: age 22 (a song)


Have you ever heard of Pickalilly Lane
where the sky is always blue?
If you pick a wildflower there
and bring it to your love
Your love will always be true.
Pickalilly Lane, Pickalilly Lane,
If you pick a flower on Pickalilly Lane
bring it to your lover
then pick him one again
and he’ll be your true love of Pickalilly Lane.
I’m going down to Pickalilly lane
where the sky is always blue.
and I’m going to pick me a wildflower there
and bring it back to you.
Pickalilly Lane, Pickalilly Lane,
If you pick a flower on Pickalilly Lane
bring it to your lover
then pick him one again
and he’ll be your true love of Pickalilly lane.
Then I’m going back to Pickalilly lane
where that wildflower grew
and I’m going to pick me another wildflower
So you’ll have that one too.
Pickalilly Lane, Pickalilly Lane,
If you pick a flower on Pickalilly Lane
bring it to your lover
then pick him one again
and he’ll be your true love of Pickalilly Lane.
Yes I’m going down to Pickalilly Lane
where the sky is always blue
and I’m going to pick me all the wildflowers
because my love is true and my true love is you.
