| [00:15.49] |
When first, I came to Louisville |
| [00:19.58] |
Some pleasure there to find |
| [00:22.97] |
A damsel there from Lexington |
| [00:26.26] |
Was pleasing to my mind |
| [00:29.44] |
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips |
| [00:32.94] |
Like arrows pierced my breast |
| [00:36.13] |
And the name she bore was Flora |
| [00:40.16] |
'The Lily Of The West'“ |
| [00:47.95] |
I courted lovely Flora |
| [00:51.83] |
Some pleasure there to find |
| [00:55.36] |
But she turned unto another man |
| [00:58.81] |
Which sore distressed my mind |
| [01:02.15] |
She robbed me of my liberty |
| [01:05.29] |
Deprived me of my rest |
| [01:09.63] |
Still I love my faithless Flora |
| [01:13.71] |
'The Lily Of The West'“ |
| [01:28.77] |
Down in yonder shady grove |
| [01:33.07] |
A man of high degree |
| [01:36.20] |
Conversing with my Flora there |
| [01:39.48] |
It seemed so strange to me |
| [01:42.32] |
And the answer that she gave to him |
| [01:46.51] |
It sure did me oppress |
| [01:49.90] |
I was betrayed by Flora |
| [01:53.88] |
'The Lily Of The West' “ |
| [02:01.64] |
I stepped up to my rival |
| [02:05.57] |
My dagger in my hand |
| [02:08.86] |
I seized him by the collar |
| [02:11.86] |
And I boldly made him stand |
| [02:14.99] |
Being mad to desperation |
| [02:19.18] |
I pierced him in the breast |
| [02:22.68] |
All for my lovely Flora |
| [02:26.95] |
'The Lily Of The West' “ |
| [02:34.50] |
I had to stand my trial |
| [02:38.28] |
I had to make my plea |
| [02:41.41] |
They placed me in the criminal box |
| [02:44.81] |
And then commenced on me |
| [02:47.90] |
Although she swore my life away |
| [02:51.84] |
Deprived me of my rest |
| [02:55.03] |
And I still love my faithless Flora |
| [02:59.07] |
'The Lily Of The West' |
