Lottie Lies Among the Flowers Songtext

Paddy sails upon the ocean

For to make his fortune there

In the hope of soon returning

To his waiting lady fair



Refrain

She dreams, she wanders

He seems so far away

She waits, she ponders

Thinking of the day


Lottie watches from the windows

Lottie leans upon the door

Ever roaming through the meadows

Ever walking down the shore



Many years of silent sorrow

Many young men come and gone

Lottie lies alone in winter

Just a shadow pale and drawn



Torn and tattered, wind and weathered

Comes a vessel to the bay

Bringing home a loyal sailor

Shrouded in a cloth of gray



Refrain

She dreams, she wanders

He seems so far away

She waits, she ponders

Thinking of the day



Lottie lies among the flowers

Growing in the ground above

Satisfied to spend the hours

Sleeping quiet with her love



Lottie lies among the flowers

Sleeping quiet with her love
