Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作词 : Traditional
[00:04.140] When first, I came to Louisville
[00:08.890] Some pleasure there to find
[00:12.790] A damsel there from Lexington
[00:17.560] Was pleasing to my mind
[00:21.550] Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
[00:26.390] Like arrows pierced my breast
[00:30.350] And the name she bore was Flora
[00:35.220] The Lily Of The West
[00:42.990] I courted lovely Flora
[00:47.690] Some pleasure there to find
[00:51.630] and She turned unto another man
[00:56.510] Which sore distressed my mind
[01:00.330] She robbed me of my liberty
[01:05.400] Deprived me of my rest
[01:09.310] Then go my lovely Flora
[01:14.160] The Lily Of The West
[01:29.200] I stepped up with my rapier
[01:33.940] My dagger in my hand,
[01:37.770] I seized him by the collar
[01:42.620] And I boldly made him stand
[01:46.520] Being mad to desperation
[01:51.450] I pierced him in the breast
[01:55.410] Then go my lovely Flora
[02:00.400] The Lily Of The West
[02:04.370] She robbed me of my liberty
[02:09.220] Deprived me of my rest
[02:13.190] I was betrayed by Flora
[02:18.200] The Lily Of The West
[02:22.800] I have to stand my trial
[02:26.740] I had to make my plea
[02:30.630] They placed me in the criminal box
[02:35.520] And then commenced on me
[02:39.460] Although she swore my life away
[02:44.530] Deprived me of my rest
[02:48.300] Still I love my faithless Flora
[02:53.270] The Lily Of The West
[02:59.520] Now that I've gained my liberty
[03:04.420] A-roving I will go
[03:08.340] I'll ramble through old Ireland
[03:13.250] And travel Scotland o'er
[03:17.320] Tho' she thought to swear my life away
[03:22.330] She still disturbs my rest
[03:26.380] And the name she bore was Flora
[03:31.720] The Lily of the West
[03:45.360] Lily of the west
[03:53.250] Lily of the west
[04:01.000] Lily of the west
[04:08.610] Lily of the west
