作词 : Traditional
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
And the name she bore was Flora
The Lily Of The West
I courted lovely Flora
Some pleasure there to find
and She turned unto another man
Which sore distressed my mind
She robbed me of my liberty
Deprived me of my rest
Then go my lovely Flora
The Lily Of The West
I stepped up with my rapier
My dagger in my hand,
I seized him by the collar
And I boldly made him stand
Being mad to desperation
I pierced him in the breast
Then go my lovely Flora
The Lily Of The West
She robbed me of my liberty
Deprived me of my rest
I was betrayed by Flora
The Lily Of The West
I have to stand my trial
I had to make my plea
They placed me in the criminal box
And then commenced on me
Although she swore my life away
Deprived me of my rest
Still I love my faithless Flora
The Lily Of The West
Now that I've gained my liberty
A-roving I will go
I'll ramble through old Ireland
And travel Scotland o'er
Tho' she thought to swear my life away
She still disturbs my rest
And the name she bore was Flora
The Lily of the West
Lily of the west
Lily of the west
Lily of the west
Lily of the west
