Flora - Peter，Paul & Mary[00:00:00]

When first I came to Louisville,[00:00:14]

My fortune there to find,[00:00:17]

I met a fair young maiden there,[00:00:21]

Her beauty filled my mind.[00:00:25]

Her rosy cheek, her ruby lips,[00:00:28]

They gave my heart no rest.[00:00:31]

The name she bore was Flora,[00:00:34]

The lily of the west.[00:00:39]

I courted lovely Flora,[00:00:46]

She promised ne'er to go.[00:00:50]

But soon a tale was told to me[00:00:53]

That filled my heart with woe.[00:00:57]

They said she meets another man[00:01:00]

Who holds my love in jest.[00:01:04]

And yet I trusted Flora,[00:01:07]

The lily of the west.[00:01:12]

'Way down in yonder shady grove,[00:01:19]

A man of low degree,[00:01:25]

He spoke unto my Flora there[00:01:28]

And kissed her 'neath a tree.[00:01:31]

The answers that she gave to him[00:01:35]

Like arrows pierced my breast.[00:01:38]

I was betrayed by Flora,[00:01:42]

The lily of the west.[00:01:46]

I stepped up to my rival,[00:01:53]

My dagger in my hand.[00:01:57]

I seized him by the collar[00:02:00]

And I ordered him to stand.[00:02:03]

All in my desperation[00:02:06]

I stabbed him in his breast.[00:02:12]

I'd killed a man for Flora,[00:02:15]

The lily of the west.[00:02:21]

And then I had to stand my trial,[00:02:28]

I had to make my plea.[00:02:33]

They placed me in a pris'ner's dock[00:02:36]

And then commenced on me.[00:02:40]

Although she swore my life away,[00:02:43]

Deprived me of my rest.[00:02:49]

Still I love my faithless Flora,[00:02:52]

The lily of the west[00:02:57]
