Lily of the West      Arrangement by Joan Baez       When first I came to Louisville    Some pleasure there to find    A damsel there from Lexington    Was pleasing to my mind    Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips    Like arrows pierced my breast    And the name she bore was Flora    The Lily Of The West       I courted lovely Flora    Some pleasure there to find    She turned unto another man   Which sore distressed my mind   She robbed me of my liberty    Deprived me of my rest    Still I love my faithless Flora   The Lily Of The West       Down in yonder shady grove    A man of high degree   Conversing with my Flora there   It seemed so strange to me    And the answer that she gave to him   It sure did me oppress   I was betrayed by Flora    The Lily Of The West      I stepped up to my rival   My dagger in my hand   I seized him by the collar and   I boldly made him stand   Being mad to desperation I pierced him in the breast   All for my lovely Flora    The Lily Of The West      I had to stand my trial   I had to make my plea   They placed me in the criminal box   And then commenced on me   Although she swore my life away   Deprived me of my rest   And I still love my faithless Flora   The Lily Of The West
