Flora, The Lily Of The West |
| When I first came to Louisville, my fortune there to find |
| There was a maiden there from Lexington, was pleasing to my mind |
| Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips like arrows pierced my breast |
| And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west |
| Well I courted lovely Flora, some pleasure there to find |
| But she turned unto another man, which sore distressed my mind |
| She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of the rest |
| Then go my lovely Flora, the lily of the west |
| It was down in yonder shady grove, with a man of high degree |
| The answer that she gave to him sore did my heart oppress |
| 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 boldly bade him stand |
| Being mad to desperation, I pierced him in the breast |
| It was all for the love of Flora, the lily of the west |
| I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea |
| They put me in the criminal box and then commenced on me Although she stole my life away, deprived me of the rest |
| Still I love my faithless Flora, the lily of the west |
