The Lily of the West - Joan Baez[00:00:00]

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[00:01:01]

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

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

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

Way down in yonder shady grove[00:01:27]

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

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

It seemed so strange to me[00:01:38]

And the answer that she gave to him[00:01:41]

It sure did me oppress[00:01:45]

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

The lily of the west[00:01:53]

I stepped up to my rival[00:02:00]

My dagger in my hand[00:02:04]

I seized him by the collar[00:02:07]

And I boldly made him stand[00:02:10]

Being mad to desperation[00:02:14]

I pierced him in the breast[00:02:18]

Then go my lovely flora[00:02:21]

The lily of the west[00:02:25]

I had to stand my trial[00:02:33]

I had to make my plea[00:02:36]

They placed me in the criminal box[00:02:40]

And then commenced on me[00:02:43]

Although she swore my life away[00:02:46]

Deprived me of my rest[00:02:50]

And I still love my faithless flora[00:02:53]

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