[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'
