《Flora》歌词

时长： 04:21

when first i came to louisville,[00:00:14]

my fortune there to find,[00:00:18]

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, the lily of the west.[00:00:34]

i courted lovely flora, she promised ne'er to go.[00:00:46]

but soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe.[00:00:53]

they said she meets another man who holds my love in jest.[00:01:00]

and yet i trusted flora, the lily of the west.[00:01:06]

'way down in yonder shady grove, a man of low degree,[00:01:18]

he spoke unto my flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree.[00:01:26]

the answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast.[00:01:33]

i was betrayed by flora, the lily of the west.[00:01:40]

i stepped up to my rival, my dagger in my hand.[00:01:52]

i seized him by the collar and i ordered him to stand.[00:01:59]

all in my desperation i stabbed him in his breast.[00:02:05]

i'd killed a man for flora, the lily of the west.[00:02:13]

and then i had to stand my trial, i had to make my plea.[00:02:25]

they placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me.[00:02:34]

although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest.[00:02:41]

still i love my faithless flora, the lily of the west.[00:02:49]
