Flora |
When first I came to Louisville |
Some pleasure there to find |
A damsel there from Lexington |
Was pleasing to my mind |
Her rosy cheeks |
Her ruby lips |
Like arrows pierced my breast |
The name she bore was Flora |
The Lily of the West |
I came to my love Flora |
Some pleasure there to find |
She turned in to another man |
Which sort of stressed my mind |
She robbed me of my loyalty |
Deprived me of my rest |
I loved my faithless Flora |
The Lily of the West |
Now down in yonder shady grove |
The man who was to come |
Conversing with my Flora there |
It seemed so strange to me |
And the answer that she gave to him |
It sort of me oppressed |
I was betrayed by Flora |
The Lily of the West |
I stepped up to my rival |
My dagger in my hand |
I seized him by the collar |
And I boldly made him stand |
We met in desperation |
I pierced him in the breast |
I killed the man for Flora |
The Lily of the West |
I had to stand my trial |
I had to make my plea |
They placed me in a criminal box |
And then commenced on me |
Although she sold my life away |
Deprived me of my rest |
I loved my faithless Flora |
The Lily of the West |
