Flora - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)[00:00:00]

Written by：Paul Stookey/Mary Travers/Elaina Mezzetti[00:00:03]

When first I came to Louisville my fortune there to find[00:00:13]

I met a fair young maiden there her beauty filled my mind[00:00:21]

Her rosy cheek her ruby lips they gave my heart no rest[00:00:28]

The name she bore was Flora the lily of the west[00:00:35]

I courted lovely Flora she promised ne'er to go[00:00:46]

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

My heart with woe[00:00:58]

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[00:01:07]

'Way down in yonder shady grove a man of low degree[00:01:19]

He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree[00:01:27]

The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast[00:01:35]

I was betrayed by Flora the lily of the west[00:01:41]

I stepped up to my rival my dagger in my hand[00:01:53]

I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand[00:02:00]

All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast[00:02:06]

I'd killed a man for Flora the lily of the west[00:02:15]

And then I had to stand my trial[00:02:27]

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

They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me[00:02:35]

Although she swore my life away deprived me of my rest[00:02:43]

Still I love my faithless Flora the lily of the west[00:02:52]
