Lily of the West
2
Arrangement by Joan Baez
3
When first I came to Louisville
4
Some pleasure there to find
5
A damsel there from Lexington
6
Was pleasing to my mind
7
Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips
8
Like arrows pierced my breast
9
And the name she bore was Flora
10
The Lily Of The West
11
I courted lovely Flora
12
Some pleasure there to find
13
She turned unto another man
14
Which sore distressed my mind
15
She robbed me of my liberty
16
Deprived me of my rest
17
Still I love my faithless Flora
18
The Lily Of The West
19
Down in yonder shady grove
20
A man of high degree
21
Conversing with my Flora there
22
It seemed so strange to me
23
And the answer that she gave to him
24
It sure did me oppress
25
I was betrayed by Flora
26
The Lily Of The West
27
I stepped up to my rival
28
My dagger in my hand
29
I seized him by the collar and
30
I boldly made him stand
31
Being mad to desperation I pierced him in the breast
32
All for my lovely Flora
33
The Lily Of The West
34
I had to stand my trial
35
I had to make my plea
36
They placed me in the criminal box
37
And then commenced on me
38
Although she swore my life away
39
Deprived me of my rest
40
And I still love my faithless Flora
41
The Lily Of The West
