[Verse 1] AmCGFAm When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find CGFAm A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind CGFAm Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast CGFAm And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west. CGFAm And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.
[Verse 2] AmCGFAm I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find CGFAm But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind CGFAm She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest CGFAm Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west. CGFAm Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
[Verse 3] AmCGFAm Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree CGFAm Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me CGFAm And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress CGFAm I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west. CGFAm I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.
[Verse 4] AmCGFAm I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand CGFAm I seized him by the collar, and boldly made him stand CGFAm Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast CGFAm All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west. CGFAm All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west.
[Verse 5] AmCGFAm I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea CGFAm They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me CGFAm Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest CGFAm Still I love my faithless Flora, the lily of the west. CGFAm Still I love my faithless Flora, the lily of the west.
