The Lily of the West-Altan[00:00:00]

I just came down from Lover's Well,[00:00:10]

Some pleasure there to find,[00:00:19]

A handsome girl from Michigan[00:00:25]

So pleasing to my mind.[00:00:31]

Her rosey cheeks and sparking eyes,[00:00:36]

This arrow's pierced my breast,[00:00:43]

And they called her handsome Mary,[00:00:48]

the Lily of the West.[00:00:58]

I courted her for many's a day,[00:01:03]

Her love I thought to gain.[00:01:12]

But too soon she slighted me,[00:01:18]

Which caused me grief and pain.[00:01:24]

She stole away my liberty[00:01:30]

And deprived me of my rest.[00:01:36]

And they called her handsome Mary,[00:01:42]

the Lily of the West.[00:01:51]

As I roved out one evening,[00:02:18]

Down by a riverside[00:02:27]

I spied a lord of a high degree[00:02:33]

Conversing to my bride.[00:02:39]

He sang a song so merrily[00:02:45]

Whilst I was so repressed.[00:02:51]

And he sang to handsome Mary,[00:02:56]

the Lily of the West.[00:03:06]

I rushed up to my rival,[00:03:11]

A dagger in my hand,[00:03:20]

I tore her from his arms[00:03:26]

And I boldly did him stab.[00:03:32]

Being mad with desperation,[00:03:38]

My dagger pierced his breast,[00:03:44]

And I was betrayed by Mary,[00:03:50]

The Lily of the West.[00:03:59]
