[00:15.49] When first, I came to Louisville
[00:19.58] Some pleasure there to find
[00:22.97] A damsel there from Lexington
[00:26.26] Was pleasing to my mind
[00:29.44] Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
[00:32.94] Like arrows pierced my breast
[00:36.13] And the name she bore was Flora
[00:40.16] 'The Lily Of The West'“
[00:47.95] I courted lovely Flora
[00:51.83] Some pleasure there to find
[00:55.36] But she turned unto another man
[00:58.81] Which sore distressed my mind
[01:02.15] She robbed me of my liberty
[01:05.29] Deprived me of my rest
[01:09.63] Still I love my faithless Flora
[01:13.71] 'The Lily Of The West'“
[01:28.77] Down in yonder shady grove
[01:33.07] A man of high degree
[01:36.20] Conversing with my Flora there
[01:39.48] It seemed so strange to me
[01:42.32] And the answer that she gave to him
[01:46.51] It sure did me oppress
[01:49.90] I was betrayed by Flora
[01:53.88] 'The Lily Of The West' “
[02:01.64] I stepped up to my rival
[02:05.57] My dagger in my hand
[02:08.86] I seized him by the collar
[02:11.86] And I boldly made him stand
[02:14.99] Being mad to desperation
[02:19.18] I pierced him in the breast
[02:22.68] All for my lovely Flora
[02:26.95] 'The Lily Of The West' “
[02:34.50] I had to stand my trial
[02:38.28] I had to make my plea
[02:41.41] They placed me in the criminal box
[02:44.81] And then commenced on me
[02:47.90] Although she swore my life away
[02:51.84] Deprived me of my rest
[02:55.03] And I still love my faithless Flora
[02:59.07] 'The Lily Of The West'
