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 |
