| Lilly Pearl standin' by the woodstove | |
| Cookin' up a pot of fatback and beans | |
| Aprons made outta Martha White flour sack | |
| Them was the days when Lilly was queen | |
| There's gonna be a family reunion | |
| Down around Little River Park | |
| Lilly got a brand new baby they say | |
| Jesse Brown had to up and run away | |
| It might as well rain 'cause nobody came | |
| Jesse left so fast the baby got no name | |
| Lilly Pearl, what'cha gonna name your baby? | |
| Lilly Pearl, what'cha gonna name your child? | |
| Lilly Pearl, they say he run away and left you crazy | |
| But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile | |
| Lilly Pearl told most folks | |
| She could raise her baby fine without a man | |
| But she cried at the table to her kin folk | |
| Her people cried with her, but did they understand? | |
| Lilly Pearl still standin' by the woodstove | |
| Talkin' to a pot of fatback and beans | |
| Twenty years later, still cookin' a spread | |
| But there's no reunion 'cause the family's mostly dead | |
| They took her baby at the age of 13 | |
| Left her livin' in the days when Lilly was queen | |
| Lilly Pearl, did you ever name your baby? | |
| Lilly Pearl, do you ever miss your child? | |
| Lilly Pearl, his daddy run away and left you crazy | |
| But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile | |
| Lilly Pearl, you never gonna know your baby? | |
| Lilly Pearl, they never let you see your child? | |
| Lilly Pearl, they say he run away and left you crazy | |
| But ooh ooh your man had a pretty smile |
