- Lilly Of The West LyricsWhen first I came to Louisville
Some pleasure there to find
A damsel there from Lexington
Was pleasin' to my mind
Her ruby lips her rosy cheeks
Like arrows pierced my breast
The name she bore was Flora
The Lilly of the West
I courted lovely Flora
Some pleasure there to find
But she turned onto another man
Which sore distressed my mind
She stole away my liberty
Deprived me of my rest
Then go my lovely Flora
The Lilly of the West
Way down in yonder shady grove
A man of low degree
Conversin' with my Flora there
It seemed so strange to me
The answer that she gave to him
It sore did me oppress
I was betrayed by Flora
The Lilly of the West
I stepped up to my rival
My dagger in my hand
I seized him by the collar
And I boldly bade him stand
Be mad to desperation
I pierced him in his breast
Then go my lovely Flora
The Lilly of the West
And then 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 swore my life away
Deprived me of my rest
Still I love my faithless Flora
The Lilly of the West
Some pleasure there to find
A damsel there from Lexington
Was pleasin' to my mind
Her ruby lips her rosy cheeks
Like arrows pierced my breast
The name she bore was Flora
The Lilly of the West
I courted lovely Flora
Some pleasure there to find
But she turned onto another man
Which sore distressed my mind
She stole away my liberty
Deprived me of my rest
Then go my lovely Flora
The Lilly of the West
Way down in yonder shady grove
A man of low degree
Conversin' with my Flora there
It seemed so strange to me
It sore did me oppress
I was betrayed by Flora
The Lilly of the West
I stepped up to my rival
My dagger in my hand
I seized him by the collar
And I boldly bade him stand
Be mad to desperation
I pierced him in his breast
Then go my lovely Flora
The Lilly of the West
And then 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 swore my life away
Deprived me of my rest
Still I love my faithless Flora
The Lilly of the West
