Ellen’s like a daisy
Jenny’s like a rose
Mary is like a dahlia
colorful and smart
But Angels like a lily
the nicest flower that grows
The lilies sweet white flowers
Just like the purest heart.

Three girls in my garden
I count them one two three
But only one a lily
And she’s the one for me

Sam is like a hollyhock
She stands so proud and tall
May is like a sweet pea
That grows upon the wall
Jane is like a gardenia
Calm and fair of face
But she is not a lily
And can’t cause
my heart to race

But my Angel she’s a lily
And the fairest of them all
One day I will marry her
when we are tall not small.
