Lyrics:
Underneath the lantern by the barrack gate
Darling I remember the way you used to wait
'Twas there that you whispered tenderly
That you loved me, you'd always be
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
Time would come for roll call, time for us to part
Darling I'd caress you and press you to my heart
And there 'neath that far off lantern light
I'd hold you tight, we'd kiss "good-night,"
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
Orders came for sailing somewhere over there
All confined to barracks was more than I could bear
I knew you were waiting there for me
So patiently when will i see
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
Resting in a billet just behind the line
Even tho'we're parted your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams
Your sweet face seems to haunt my dreams
My Lili of the lamplight
My own Lili Marlene
