when first, i came to louisville[00:00:15]

some pleasure there to find[00:00:19]

a damsel there from lexington[00:00:22]

was pleasing to my mind[00:00:26]

her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips[00:00:29]

like arrows pierced my breast[00:00:32]

and the name she bore was flora[00:00:36]

'the lily of the west'“[00:00:40]

i courted lovely flora[00:00:47]

some pleasure there to find[00:00:51]

but she turned unto another man[00:00:55]

which sore distressed my mind[00:00:58]

she robbed me of my liberty[00:01:02]

deprived me of my rest[00:01:05]

still i love my faithless flora[00:01:09]

'the lily of the west'“[00:01:13]

down in yonder shady grove[00:01:28]

a man of high degree[00:01:33]

conversing with my flora there[00:01:36]

it seemed so strange to me[00:01:39]

and the answer that she gave to him[00:01:42]

it sure did me oppress[00:01:46]

i was betrayed by flora[00:01:49]

'the lily of the west' “[00:01:53]

i stepped up to my rival[00:02:01]

my dagger in my hand[00:02:05]

i seized him by the collar[00:02:08]

and i boldly made him stand[00:02:11]

being mad to desperation[00:02:14]

i pierced him in the breast[00:02:19]

all for my lovely flora[00:02:22]

'the lily of the west' “[00:02:26]

i had to stand my trial[00:02:34]

i had to make my plea[00:02:38]

they placed me in the criminal box[00:02:41]

and then commenced on me[00:02:44]

although she swore my life away[00:02:47]

deprived me of my rest[00:02:51]

and i still love my faithless flora[00:02:55]

'the lily of the west'[00:02:59]
