Current song lyrics
Lily of the West<br /><br />Arrangement by Joan Baez<br /><br />When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find<br />A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind<br />Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast<br />And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.<br /><br />I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find<br />But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind<br />She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest<br />Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.<br /><br />Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree<br />Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me<br />And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress<br />I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.<br /><br />I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand <br />I seized him by the collar, and bodly made him stand<br />Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast<br />All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.<br /><br />I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea<br />They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me<br />Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest<br />Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the west.
