Lily of the west Joan Baez
When [Am]first I came to [C]Louis[G]ville
Some [C]pleasure there to [Am]find
A [C]damsel [F]there from [Am]Lexing[E]ton
Was [C]pleasing to my [Am]mind
Her [C]rosy [F]cheeks, her [Am]ruby [E]lips
Like [C]arrows pierced my [Am]breast
And the [Am]name she bore was [C]Flor[G]a
The [C]Lily Of The [Am]West
I courted lovely Flora
Some pleasure there to find
She turned unto another man
Which sore distressed my mind
She robbed me of my liberty
Deprived me of my rest
Still I love my faithless Flora
The Lily Of The West
Down in yonder shady grove
A man of lowly breed
Conversing with my flower
It seemed so strange to me
And the answer that she gave to him
It sore did me oppress
I was betrayed by Flora
The Lily Of The West
I stepped up to my rival
My dagger in my hand
I grabbed him by the collar and
I boldly made him stand
Being mad to desperation
I pierced him in the breast
And all for lovely Flora
The Lily Of The West
I had to stand my trial
I had to make my plea
The placed me in the criminal box
And them commenced on me
Although she swore my life away
Deprived me of my rest
I love my faithless Flora
The Lily Of The West
