Lillie Marlene 
Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate, Darling I remember the way you used to wait; 'Twas there that you whispered tenderly, That you lov'd me You'd always be, 
My Lillie of the lamp-light, My own Lillie Marlene. 
Orders came for sailing somewhere over there, All confined to barracks was more than I could bear; I knew you were waiting in the street, I heard your feet, But could not meet; 
My Lillie of the lamp-light, My own Lillie Marlene. 
Resting in a billet just behind the line, Even tho' we're parted your lips are close to mine; You wait where the lantern softly gleams. Your sweet face seems, To haunt my dreams 
My Lillie of the lamp-light, My own Lillie Marlene.
