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