[00:13.90]When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find
[00:41.12]A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind
[00:47.99]Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast
[00:54.61]And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.
[01:01.46]I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find
[01:16.81]But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind
[01:23.59]She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest
[01:30.60]Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
[01:37.16]Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree
[01:52.73]Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me
[01:59.42]And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress
[02:06.18]I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.
[02:12.85]I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand
[02:26.41]I seized him by the collar, and bodly made him stand
[02:33.12]Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast
[02:39.72]All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
[02:47.47]I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea
[03:02.99]They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me
[03:09.56]Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest
[03:16.18]Still I love my faithless the Flora, Lily of the west.
