[00:00.00] 作词 : Traditional
[00:15.520] When first, I came to Louisville
[00:19.550] Some pleasure there to find
[00:23.400] A damsel there from Lexington
[00:26.260] Was pleasing to my mind
[00:29.630] Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
[00:32.970] Like arrows pierced my breast
[00:36.900] And the name she bore was Flora
[00:40.330] The Lily Of The West
[00:48.800] I courted lovely Flora
[00:51.920] Some pleasure there to find
[00:55.400] But She turned unto another man
[00:59.100] Which sore distressed my mind
[01:02.280] She robbed me of my liberty
[01:06.140] Deprived me of my rest
[01:09.630] Then go my lovely Flora
[01:13.750] The Lily Of The West
[01:28.730] We down in yonder shady grove
[01:32.740] A man of high degree
[01:36.290] Conversing with my Flora there
[01:39.550] It seemed so strange to me
[01:42.400] And the answer that she gave to him
[01:46.590] It sore did me oppress
[01:49.803] I was betrayed by Flora
[01:54.600] The Lily Of The West
[02:01.508] I stepped up to my rival
[02:05.460] My dagger in my hand
[02:08.790] I seized him by the collar
[02:11.950] And I boldly made him stand
[02:15.180] Being mad to desperation
[02:19.180] I pierced him in the breast
[02:22.690] Then go my lovely Flora
[02:26.900] The Lily Of The West
[02:34.580] I had to stand my trial
[02:38.290] I had to make my plea
[02:41.540] They placed me in the criminal box
[02:44.950] And then commenced on me
[02:47.830] Although she swore my life away
[02:51.930] Deprived me of my rest
[02:55.320] Still I love my faithless Flora
[02:59.380] The Lily Of The West
