[00:14.00]When first I came to Louisville my fortune there to find
[00:21.26]I met a fair young maiden there her beauty filled my mind
[00:28.30]Her rosy cheek her ruby lips they gave my heart no rest
[00:35.41]The name she bore was Flora the lily of the west
[00:46.60]I courted lovely Flora she promised ne'er to go
[00:53.56]But soon a tale was told to me that filled
[00:58.20]My heart with woe
[01:00.72]They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest
[01:07.51]And yet I trusted Flora the lily of the west
[01:19.29]'Way down in yonder shady grove a man of low degree
[01:27.88]He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree
[01:35.07]The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast
[01:41.97]I was betrayed by Flora the lily of the west
[01:53.51]I stepped up to my rival my dagger in my hand
[02:00.54]I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand
[02:06.95]All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast
[02:15.42]I'd killed a man for Flora the lily of the west
[02:27.92]And then I had to stand my trial
[02:33.23]I had to make my plea
[02:36.00]They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me
[02:43.49]Although she swore my life away deprived me of my rest
[02:52.15]Still I love my faithless Flora the lily of the west
