Lily of the West

[00:02.420]	music
[00:17.430]
[00:36.800]	When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find
[00:43.80]	A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind
[00:49.510]	Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast
[00:59.920]	And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.
[01:01.390]
[01:12.400]	I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find
[01:18.520]	But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind
[01:25.380]	She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest
[01:32.790]	Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
[01:37.220]
[01:47.610]	Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree
[01:55.110]	Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me
[02:01.10]	And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress
[02:07.909]	I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.
[02:14.219]
[02:21.200]	I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand
[02:27.959]	I seized him by the collar, and bodly made him stand
[02:34.719]	Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast
[02:42.369]	All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
[02:54.39]
[03:00.170]	I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea
[03:05.309]	They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me
[03:11.140]	Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest
[03:18.539]	Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the west.
