Lily Of The West - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

Written by：Countryman/Wanda Jackson[00:00:01]

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[00:00:25]

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[00:01:06]

Then go my lovely flora[00:01:09]

The lily of the west[00:01:13]

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

A man of high degree[00:01:32]

Conversing with my flora there[00:01:35]

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 and[00:02:08]

I boldly made him stand[00:02:11]

Being mad to desperation I pierced him in the breast[00:02:14]

And go 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[00:02:37]

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]

Still I love my faithless flora[00:02:54]

The lily of the west[00:02:58]
