Lyrics:
There's a little white duck, sitting in the water
A little white duck, doing what he oughter
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he
the water
The wind is crying, "Lily"
As it sighs along the shore
The river's singing "Lily --
We all know that you are innocent"
You were promised
Showboat coming up the river
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze
I can hear the crickets singing in the evening
Old Dixie Lily moving
There's a little white duck, sitting in the water
A little white duck, doing what he oughter
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he
make thee a bed of roses
With a thousand fragrant posies.
By shallow waters by whose falls,
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And blooming will be my delight!
Bright tiger lilies
Still water lilies
See how they all dilly-dally!
Look at the day lily
Lemon lily
Cala lily
Or the lovely
love forever
Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
Fair is the lily of the valley
Clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
But my love is
(Words and Music by Joan Baez)
Infinity gives me chills
So could the waters of Iceland
But there's a difference in finding diamonds in rust
There's a little white duck sitting in the water
Little white duck doing what he oughta
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he
A thousand black water lilies
In the river
I'm floating in
On the water
I'm diving into the ocean
A thousand black water lilies
Black water lilies
Serena: (kneeling)
Oh, doctor Jesus, who done trouble de water in de Sea of Gallerie.
Porgy: Amen!
Serena: And likewise who done cas' de devil
moved, how you move me
With your beauty's potency
You give me life, please don't let me go
You crush the lily in my soul
Moving liquid, yes, you are
knight-at-arms
So haggard and so woe-begone?
The squirrel's granary is full
And the harvest's done
See a lily on thy brow
With anguish moist and fever-dew
and crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
and crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children
And crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl
Sweet like harmony
Made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children
There's a little white duck
Sitting in the water
A little white duck, doing what he oughter
He took a bite of a lily pad
Flapped his wings and he
to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before
We have seen a million stones lying by the water
You have climbed the hills
Turning time to flowers,
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before.
We have seen a million stone lying by the water,
You have
Turning time to flowers,
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang to one man before.
We have seen a million stones lying by the water.
You have
Thou who rulest wind and water stand by me
When the midst of tribulation stand by me when the midst of tribulation stand by me
When the hosts of hell
repeat themselves and die
Even when they don't hold water, you try to keep them safe and dry
An' trade your moan for a positive tone,
Reassured by ads
to no end
Cause the water cause the water cause the water makes amends
Why we bother to no end, why we bother to no end
Cause the lilies, cause
